Boughton St Matthew

Stonework

The church is built of Steetley stone with ashlar facings of the characteristic yellow Ancaster stone from South Lincolnshire provided externally, erected on rendered red brick footings to the external leaf. This fine red brickwork continues generally for the internal leaf with blue brick enhancements.
