            The Parish Church of Saint Mary
Stained glass window depicting the Nativity 

Long Sutton is a small market town in the Lincolnshire fens close to the border with Norfolk.
The parish church is dedicated to St Mary and sits close to the market place, the grand nave was built in the late Norman period, it has an early 13th century tower only just attached to the south-west corner of the south aisle, the tower stands on four splendid arches long since filled in.
The 13th century timber spire covered in lead is 162 feet high and is one of the earliest well preserved lead spires in England.

The Fenlands of south-east Lincolnshire, west Norfolk and north Cambridgeshire are rich in medieval ecclesiastical architecture, because of this the area is sometimes referred to as the "Holy Land of the English".
