Church of St Mary, Clipsham
Heavily restored in 1858, the church nevertheless dates back to the 12th century. It is a grade II* listed building, with Norman Arches in the North Arcade. It has always been associated heavily with the families at Clipsham Hall.
The bells were hung in the 17th Century. The first dated 1671, the second by Tobie Norris (II) of Stamford 1675, and the tenor by Thomas Norris 1657.
