St. Edmund's is a cruciform church which is quite rare in Lincolnshire. Popularity for this design was at the turn of the 11th century. The central tower (added later) dates from around the 13th century.
 

The church of St. Edmund, re-built in stone in 1863, retains portions of the Norman and decorated styles. Consisting of chancel, naive, transepts, aisles and a central embattled tower with four pinnacles, containing a clock and three bells. With the exception of the medieval Perpendicular Tower and crossing which are still original 14th century constructions.
In the north wall is a blocked-up Norman doorway
 
It is quite possible that the north and south walls are the remains of a 12th century building which was then enlarged and modified with a tower, south aisle and transepts in 14th century.
