Leverton, with Benington, Wesleyan Methodist Chapel

St Helen in Leverton, is outstanding even for a marshland church. Typically Perpendicular externally, however the nave arcades are Decorated.

The finest part of the building architecturally is the chancel with its chantry chapel and vaulted sedilia.

The external chancel carvings are magnificent.

Leverton, St Helen church, sedilia,

An engraving from Stephen Lewin's book of churches in the Holland Division of Lincolnshire (1843).

James Fowler restored the church in 1897, taking down the brick clerestory of 1728 and replacing it with a stone one.

The illustration also shows a south porch and a small chapel alongside the chancel, both of which were removed by Fowler.
