Saltfleetby All Saints church is a long, low building with a leaning tower of the Early English and Perpendicular styles. The nave is Early English whilst the chancel and its arch are Norman.

There are old screens, one Jacobean and one Elizabethan pulpit and a rare medieval stone reredos in the Lady Chapel.

It is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.

This redundant church has origins in the twelfth century, elements from several centuries and a final repair and partial restoration in the 1880s.

The view of the church from the south-east shows how far from perpendicular many of the walls are.

There are substantial buttresses supporting many parts of the structure.

The charming fifteenth-century porch has a pointed doorway with jambs of clustered slender shafts with shields and flower heads in the spandrels.

The moulding above carries the inscription: 'Situs est sanctum Johis' Grantham de Moulton, Pahoni istius Ecclesiae' and is flanked by shields bearing emblems of Passion and crucifix.
