Dist:0.6km<br/>Delightful church with a dual dedication in the shrunken village of Haceby, with early Norman origins, Early English and Decorated gothic features, seemingly un-adulterated by Victorian restorations. Still consecrated and lovingly cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Very rare Queen Anne Royal Arms above the chancel arch in St.Margaret's church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1317442 its rarity partly due to her short reign (1702-1714) and the irreverence towards the Church of England in the early 18th century. The restoration by Madeleine Katkov in 1979 revealed an earlier Medieval Doom painting underneath and traces can be seen interposed with the arms, an angel pitchforks damned souls into hell on the right, whilst another watches over the riteous on their journey to salvation on the left.

Dist:0.7km<br/>St Margaret's Church, sometimes known as St Barbara's, in Haceby has a fine painted decoration on the chancel arch. It shows the arms of Queen Anne which was restored in 1979. It was painted over a Medieval "Doom" and you can still make out angels herding a crowd of sinners onto the path to Hell on the right hand side. See http://homepages.which.net/~rex/bourne/haceby.htm for further information about the village and church although the site is open and the church easy to access now. It is managed by the Churches Conservation Trust and there is an informative leaflet available by the font. http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/frontpage.asp for info about the CCT.
