many years ago I sat there, by the pilasters, eating fish and chips, having cycled across the country and just before catching a ferry to ride to Denmark, to see the Gundestrup cauldron. A hive of bees were living in the crumbling plaster and brick and sun was strong. All was well with the world.

It is so wonderful and remarkable that many of the ancient churches and cathedrals survived both the ravages of time and Henry VIII's Reformation and Dissolution.
Although I've been to Barton on Humber several times I can't believe that I've never visited this church. A situation I intend to remedy as soon as possible. Thank you.
still got a Roman influence, the square tower and especially the double arched windows, when it was built there would have been old deserted Roman villas still around, lots of Saxon churches contain recycled Roman masonry
The pilasters/arcading are probably a very provincial version of Norman (Romanesque) style, rather than Anglo-Saxon. It they are just a new surface on an Anglo-Saxon church, show us the interior, please.

Incredible to see so much still intact.

Wow! Anglo-Saxon stone church--how rare is that!? Excellent!

Beautiful thanks
