In 1979 this church was one of many throughout Lincolnshire visited during the 'Marfleet Ancestral Tour'. Still affixed to one of
the pews was the MARFLEET name-plate indicating the pew where
George and Mary Marfleet sat
when attending church services before George's death in 1831. George and Mary lived in a house
on the Friskney to Wainfleet Saint Mary road, by a bridge over the dyke. Ordnance Survey maps
still show this bridge as 'Marfleet's Bridge' (O.S. TF468567).
