Parish church

Bainton's parish church, St Andrew's, is Grade I listed.[2] Pevsner noted that the church was totally rebuilt in the 1330s or 1340s by the rector William de Brocklesby, except for the south-west corner of the chancel with its priest's doorway, which are c.1300. Until 1715 the tower supported a spire. The font Norman, and the pews 18th century.

A tomb to Sir Edmund de Mauley lies in the south aisle; [de Mauley, Steward to King Edward II, died at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314]. The tomb has an ogee canopy, crocketed gable and flying angels holding the soul of Sir Edmund in a napkin. There is also a brass to Roger Godeale, died 1429.[3] A south porch and vestry were added by Henry Wheatley in 1843, and a restoration carried out by James Fowler, known as "Fowler of Louth", in 1866.

The church's listed rectory, south of the church, is of late Georgian period. According to Pevsner a local tradition connects the rectory's coniferous garden with Joseph Paxton.[3][4] The rectory's coach house and stables are also listed buildings.[5]
