The Parish Church of St Wulfram, Grantham

The Parish Church of St Wulfram is an Anglican parish church in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building and has the second tallest spire in Lincolnshire after Louth's parish church.

The church was built in the 12th and 13th centuries, and was extensively restored in the 1860s by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The spire is 84 meters (276 feet) tall and is made of limestone. It is decorated with pinnacles and flying buttresses.

The interior of the church is spacious and light. The nave is divided into five bays by pointed arches. The chancel is at a higher level than the nave and is separated from it by a choir screen. The church has a number of stained glass windows, including some by William Morris.

The church is dedicated to St Wulfram, a 7th-century bishop of Sens, France. Wulfram is said to have brought a relic of the True Cross to Grantham, and the church became a popular pilgrimage destination.

The church was built on the site of an earlier church, which was probably founded in the 7th century. The present church was built in stages over the 12th and 13th centuries. The spire was added in the 14th century.

The church was restored in the 1860s by Sir George Gilbert Scott. Scott removed some of the later additions to the church, and restored it to its medieval appearance.
