The Church of St John the Evangelist

Welcome to our Church

The church of St John the Evangelist, Manthorpe is one of seven churches in the Deanery of Grantham, within the Diocese of Lincoln, which in turn is part of the Church of England in the Province of Canterbury in the United Kingdom - our Mother Church is the The Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln.

The Church of St. John the Evangelist was built by the Rector of Belton in 1848. The area served by St. John's has a population of between 3,500 and 4,000. The old village of Manthorpe itself consists of some 40 houses on the edge of Belton Park (National Trust). The village is a conservation area.

St. John's is a small and attractive church, cheerfully decorated inside and maintained in very good order. The churchyard has been closed for burials and interments but the Garden of Remembrance continues.
