Wrangle Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Wrangle is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was spelt Weranghe but by 15th century it had been changed to Wranghill. There was almost certainly a Saxon church on the site in 1086 and the present church is based on the beautiful cathedrals of 12th century France. It is a Marshland church, ie predominantly perpendicular, but there are older parts as well. The arch on the east side of the tower and the south door are believed to be 1190s. The church was given with much land to Waltham Abbey, Essex in the time of Henry II (1154-89) – the priests of that period being supplied by Waltham Abbey. In the glass of the east window was once an inscription “Thomas de Wyversty, abbas de Waltham me fieri fecit” (the dates of his abbacy of Waltham are 1345-71) The church was rebuilt in the 1400s. St Mary & St Nicholas is built in late Norman and Early English style with later additions. It has a fine pulpit of the Elizabethan period and a tower with six bells. Wrangle was an important place in the 13th and 14th centuries when the church was built. In 1359 King Edward III needed a navy to invade France and Wrangle was asked to help. It sent one ship and eight men (Liverpool only sent five men). Although now a mile from the sea, in medieval times Wrangle Church sat next to a creek up which boats sailed from the Wash. The river has long since been silted up but the outline of the banks can still be seen in a field next to the church.

St.Mary & St.Nicholas' church, Wrangle, Lincs. Obviously Decorated and Perpendicular, but you enter through an early English south doorway and there's bits of Norman billet frieze in the chancel. The greatest treasure is the 14th century stained glass (c1350-70)including a wonderful depiction of the resurrection with the sleeping soldiers wearing 14th century military costume.

Nice cottage with all necessities. Unfortunately, the bathroom radiator would not heat up and the rainfall shower head needed replacing - the water flow was intermittent and slow. Otherwise all was fine and comfortable.
