- Burringham, Lincolnshire (Church of St John the Baptist)
Built by S S Teulon in 1856-57, this striking, red-brick Victorian church is an extraordinary composition inside and out, which shows the architect at his most dramatic and original.
With its short but massive square tower and distinctive pyramid roof, the church sits squat below the high east bank of the River Trent.
The interior contains beautiful stained glass and an appealing painted ceiling above the altar of heavenly constellations.

If the access information for this church is listed as ‘Keyholder nearby’, this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

This church is only open for one day a year, when it holds a Christmas Carol Service. I have just made my second visit to one of these annual services. As always the church was packed to capacity and I enjoyed every minute. My only comment was that sitting towards the back of the church we could not hear the vicar and the lesson readings very well.
I was married at this church on 10th August 1963. I believe it closed in 1982. My grandparents, great grandparents, 2 x great grandparents and many other relatives are buried in the church yard. I am particularly interested in Teulon and wonder how he came to be chosen to design this church. Also, I am unable to find the church faculty at Lincoln archives, nor any other Teulon faculties at the Archives.

SSTeulon was a member of my family. and I have made a long study of him. I have recently published a book about his life and work. This costs only £8 and I am told this represents good value. Copies can be obtained from Alan Teulon 54 Clarence Avenue,Northampton. Please send cost plus £1.50 p+p Alan Teulon PS there is shortly to be an exhibition on Victorian architecture at Louth Museum.
