St Gilbert and St Hugh

St Gilbert and St Hugh are notable Lincolnshire saints, the former from Sempringham and the founder of the only English-originated religious order, the Gilbertines, the latter a bishop of Lincoln usually depicted with a pet swan. Consequently it is appropriate that the timber framed church of 1902-4 by the architects Bucknall & Comper at Gosberton Clough is dedicated to them, particularly since Sempringham, the home of St Gilbert is only a few miles distant. This is a building I have photographed once before and presented in black and white. On this occasion I preferred the muted colours.
