Belton church

The village of Belton, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, is best known for its proximity to the stately home, Belton House, a grand property in the care of the National Trust. Today's photograph was taken from the Italianate Garden of that house and it shows the church just outside its boundary wall. Like many churches adjacent to stately homes it is in good repair, appears well cared for, and is absolutely filled to bursting with tombs, monuments, statuary and plaques proclaiming the worthiness of the deceased family members of the grand house. Of which, more later.
