St Margaret's Church, Bucknall is a Grade II* listed parish church in the village of Bucknall, Lincolnshire, England. It has been described as "partly 13th century with traces of Norman and the external features mainly Victorian."[3] The church was originally built in the 13th century and built by the Normans. The two arcades of four bays are 13th-century, and the font was installed in 1646. The church saw extensive restorations between 1884 and 1912 to the main building and tower. The church remains an active place of worship: there were two regular monthly services and occasional other services.[4] Bucknall is one of five Anglican parishes in the Woodhall Spa Group of Churches, in the Deanery of Horncastle. The group serves the rural villages of Central Lincolnshire: Woodhall Spa and Kirkstead, Stixwould and Woodhall, Horsington, Langton, and Bucknall.[5] [6]
