caption_attribution_description: English: Redbourne Church. Church of St. Andrew, Redbourne, made redundant in 1978. Notable for the height of the tower.
context_page_description: Thomas Lumby and William Lumby were master carpenters and architects working in Lincoln in the latter part of the 18th century. Thomas Lumby was the father of William. As they worked together and there is some confusion as which buildings each of them designed, they have been grouped together. It seems likely that after 1784, William Lumby had taken the business over from his father. Thomas Lumby undertook work at a number of major houses in Lincolnshire including Doddington Hall and Burghley House as well as building Caenby Hall and Corporation House
context_section_description: Redbourne Church, Lincolnshire. Rebuilt in a Gothic Style 1772-4. Although the church has 14th- and 15th-century origins, the bulk of the existing building is 18th-century and represents a Georgian Gothic style, using a mixture of squared and coursed rubble limestone with ashlar dressings. Its square tower is approximately 90 feet (27 m) high and the upper two storeys of the tower were added in 1788.   The alterations of 1772–1774 in the gothic style by Thomas and Henry Lumby, and the chapel on the south side of the chancel served as a mausoleum for the family of the Dukes of St Albans.
  Doddington Church, near Lincoln. Rebuilt 1770-5.  A Remarkable early example of a Gothic Revival Church. The detailing of the entrance door is more in the style of Strawberry Hill Gothic with lushly foliated  crocheted and ogee decorated gables. The two west end windows are an interesting adaptation of the Lincolnshire flamboyant tracery of the decorated period of Church architecture.
