The substantial house of the early seventeenth century was rebuilt in the first quarter of the eighteenth.

It was built for the Pelhams, owners of the largest Lincolnshire estate.

Substantial extensions were built in the nineteenth century, as shown in this photograph.

All Saints, Brocklesby, is a substantial building close to Brocklesby Hall, home of the Pelhams.

It is largely built of ironstone and dates from the Decorated period.

Inside are alabaster memorials to early Pelhams.

How one can gain access to this church is a mystery.

Church viewed from the south.

Kelly's Directory 1930 reports :-

"The church of All Saints is a building of stone, wholly in the Decorated style, consisting of chancel, nave, south porch and a small embattled western tower with spire containing one bell:

the perfect symmetry of this church and the elegant flowing tracery of its windows make it one of the most beautiful examples of the style to be found in the neighbourhood:

in the chancel are some ancient monuments to the Pelham family, ancestors of the Earl of Yarborough, one of which commemorates William Pelham and 17 children (1629), all of whom are represented on the monument, together with several shields of arms:

there is also an earlier one to William Pelham (1587) and Eleanor his wife:

the east and four other windows in the chancel are stained, also one in the north and one in the south aisles:

the church was reroofed and thoroughly renovated in 1852 by Charles, second earl of Yarborough, and contains an organ removed from the dining room in Brocklesby Hall and dated 1773:

the Countess of Yarborough presented a handsome alabaster reredos in 1890:

there is a memorial to Charles Sackville Pelham, Lord Worsley, lieutenant Royal Horse Guards, who fell at Zandvoorde 30th Oct. 1914, aged 27, executed in alabaster and designed by C. S. Jagger esq. with the following inscription :- "Brave, courteous, loving and beloved; he died the noblest death a man can die, fighting for God and right and liberty, and such a death is immortality;"

there is also a memorial to those residents in Brocklesby and Little Limber who fell in the Great War, 1914-18, executed in alabaster and green marble:

in 1928 a memorial, designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield R.A. and executed by William Reid Dick esq. R.A. was erected by the Earl of Yarborough, to Marcia, Countess of Yarborough, 7th Baroness Fauconberg and 13th Baroness Conyers (d. 1926):

there are 160 sittings"

White's Directory 1872 notes:-

"The Parish Church (All Saints) stands at Brocklesby, and is a handsome structure, with a lofty spire, and containing some ancient monuments of the Pelhams. It was new-roofed, re-pewed and thoroughly repaired in 1852. The chancel windows are richly ornamented with stained glass.

The rectory, valued in K.B. at £7. 12s. 10d., was augmented with £200 of Q.A.B. in 1735. The rectory of Brocklesby and vicarage of Kirmington were consolidated in 1858, and both benefices are now worth about £479 per annum. The Earl of Yarborough is patron, and the Rev. John Henry Johnson, B.A., is the incumbent, and has a handsome rectory house, erected in Kirmington parish."

Sir John fought bravely at Poitiers and captured King John of France. As a reward for his courtesy to the King he was given the right to wear the King's Buckle as a badge of honour."

The plaques (which could be described as large plaquettes) about 120 mm (4.7 in) in diameter, were cast in bronze, and came to be known as the Dead Man's Penny or Widow's Penny because of the superficial similarity to the much smaller penny coin (which had a diameter of only 30.86 mm (1.215 in)). 1,355,000 plaques were issued, which used a total of 450 tons of bronze, and continued to be issued into the 1930s to commemorate people who died as a consequence of the war."

Built about 1848 for the MS and L Railway Company, this Brocklesby Station was conveniently close to Brocklesby Hall, the seat of the Earl of Yarborough who was then the company chairman.

In April 1849 Prince Albert arrived here by royal train to be the guest of the Earl before continuing to Grimsby next day, with great ceremony, to lay the foundation stone of the new dock.

The station closed in the 1990s. Photo taken from road bridge over the railway.
