St Peter & St Paul, Old Bolingbroke A camera angle that is nigh on impossible when leaves are on the trees. The church sits at the very edge of the Wolds and close to the ruins of the castle, which was the birthplace of Henry IV in 1366. There was a church here as early as 1086, but the present church is the south aisle of a church built about 1363. This was badly damaged during the Civil War and was restored to its present form by Reverend Edward Pain in 1889. The window in the east wall is a fine example of 14th-century work. On either side of the window are two carved heads said to represent King Edward III and Queen Philippa whose son, John of Gaunt, is thought to have built the church.
