Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire 1919 states :-
"The church of St. Mary, rebuilt by subscription in 1862, from the designs of Mr. Withers, is a small edifice of stone in the Early Decorated style, consisting of chancel, nave, vestry, south porch and a turret containing one bell:
during the restoration of the church, the battered remains of an effigy of a Knight Templar were found outside the church, confirming a tradition, of long standing, that three crusaders had been respectively buried at Panton, Buslingthorpe and West Torrington:
the other effigies still exist in the two former churches; the fragments discovered have been placed near the font, which is a fine and unusually large structure of the Norman period:
the stained east window is a memorial to William George Ernest Windham Gerald B.A. of St. John's College, Oxford:
there are 116 sittings"
DB 18 April 2019
The church was largely rebuilt in 1860/1 re-using much of the fourteenth-century masonry. The exercise cost £800, which was raised by public subscription.

During the incumbency of the Revd Thomas Wimberley Mossman, who served here from 1859-1885, the church was restored under architect R J Withers in 1860.

The harmonium was supplied by Jesse Hall, 137 Eastgate, Louth. Jesse Hall dealt in music and musical instruments in Louth for over 50 years, but he operated from this address between c.1892-1926.

The harmonium was made by R F Stevens of London NW, established 1859.

Reported by the BBC on 20 April 2012 that :-
"A church with a congregation of just one person has been put up for sale in Lincolnshire.
The church of St Mary, West Torrington, has a guide price of £30,000"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-17784656
Unfortunately the church is now closed and is presumably receiving very little if any maintenance - apart from a few partly broken windows it was evident that some of the roof tiles had slipped.
DB 18 April 2019
Viewed through a partly broken window.
"Thomas Wimberley Mossman was vicar 1859-1885 and brought about the restoration of the church.
He was an important and controversial figure in the Oxford movement, correspondent of Cardinal Newman and founder of a Brotherhood aimed at financing young men from poor backgrounds through their training at Theological College and thus into the priesthood.
Mossman was also notable as an historian and active Liberal politician and a crucial figure in the early Oecumenical Movement"

Nine years of disuse is evident in this view towards the chancel.
The light which can be seen intruding at the ridge in front of the chancel arch betrays one of the holes in the roof.

In "A List And Brief Details Of Chapels In The Market Rasen & Caistor Circuit Past And Present" prepared by Colin Shepherdson & Eileen H Mumby September 1997 (revised August 1998) it is stated that :-
"A chapel was built in 1859 and the last service occurred in September 1933"
August 2015
Although out of use as a place of worship for many years, the old chapel appears to be in relatively good condition.

"There is a Wesleyan chapel, built in 1859, and a United Methodist chapel, erected in the same year"

Built in 1859, the last service held here was in September 1933. The scar in the rendering shows where the later Sunday School was attached to the original building.

In "A List And Brief Details Of Chapels In The Market Rasen & Caistor Circuit Past And Present" prepared by Colin Shepherdson & Eileen H Mumby September 1997 (revised August 1998) it is stated that :-
"i) A house was registered in 1769 and a chapel built in 1843.
ii) A second chapel was built in 1859 and a Sunday school added to the side in 1893. It is still in use with a membership of 8"
Unfortunately the chapel closed in 2007.
DB 18 April 2019
Inscription above the side extension states "THE CARR MEMORIAL 1893".
There is a simple date stone above the main entrance reading "1859".
DB 18 April 2019
Planning consent has been given for the conversion of the chapel into accommodation which will be linked to a new building towards the back of the plot of land.
