The church was shut after the 2008 Lincolnshire earthquake when a large crack appeared in the tower and masonry fell inside the church. St Mary's was also damaged in the 1930s when a hurricane dislodged its 'candle snuffer' spire resulting in its eventual removal.In the 1930s an earlier church, All Saints', was renovated after it fell into disuse. Now known as the "Ramblers Church" it features a 1951 stained glass window detailing walkers and cyclists. The Viking Way passes close to All Saints.
