ST. BARTHOLOMEW’S, INGOLDSBY

THE VILLAGE AND ITS CHURCH
Ingoldsby is one of the larger villages in the North Beltisloe Group, with approximately 250 residents. Originally a farming community, there are only two farming families now remaining. A number of retired live here together with some commuters and others who work in Grantham.
St. Bartholomew’s Church, which dates from the 11th Century, (a church was recorded in the Doomsday Book) is normally kept unlocked. There are three Bells in the Tower, but these can only be chimed, not swung, so we have a recording of Church Bells played over Loud Speakers in the Tower before every Service. The amplification system can also be used within the building, which is also wired for hearing aid users. There are no toilet facilities, but water as well as electricity is laid on

We have a good County Primary School whose Children annually perform in the Church and an excellent Brownies and Rainbows sections who organise a Christingle service each year. There is a regular Bus service to Grantham.

CHURCH SERVICES
We have two 9.30am Holy Communion Services and one Evening prayer each month. The average attendance is 10. We have a regular organist and there are one or two others who will play occasionally.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL
There are 10 members of the PCC, half of whom are not regular Churchgoers. It meets 3 or 4 times annually in member’s houses.

The Annual Parish Share and our contribution to the Group are always paid in full
