Midville St Peter

 

The Parish

The parish of Midville was created in 1820 to serve a large portion of reclaimed land on the eastern side of central Lincolnshire. Midville is located about 7 miles northeast of the market town of Boston. Midville has no distinct village its notional centre is a crossroads of straight roads alongside Hobhole Drain about 2 miles east of the A16 road which links Boston with Spilsby. This is an area of intensive agriculture largely on reclaimed land at or near sea level, huge skies and vast fields dominate the landscape. All of the drainage is designed and constructed by man, Hobhole Drain heads southwards before reaching the sea through the River Witham's mouth onto The Wash. The parish is extensive, covering nearly 3,500 acres and it would have supported just over 150 parishioners. There is no mention of Midville in Domesday Book.


The Church

St Peter's church sits on the eastern side of the lane which follows Hobhole Drain just north of the crossroads which forms the notional centre of the parish. The church was built in 1819 to serve the newly created parish. The building is rather dismissed by Pevsner who devotes less than a handful of lines to describe it. The building appears to be a bit of a box set off only with its octagonal cupola. St Peter's is screened by trees and a short paved pathway leads up to the building, once inside the trees there are some restrictions and obstructions to photography but no more than an inconvenience.
