All Saint's Church is the parish church of the village of Horsington in Lincolnshire, England. The church was originally built as a thatched church before it was rebuilt in 1860 as a red brick church. The church was built to include a spire and bigger base for the congregation. It was given a Grade II listed building status in September 1966.

History

The church was originally a thatched church and was occupied by the Horsington Anglican rectory who were living at the church and rectory by it at the time. The rectory and church were a gift given by the Magdalen College in Oxford who owned the land and the church and were also the defacto provider of the villages Lords of the Manor. The church was eventually rebuilt in 1860 with a spire, bigger hall and red brick design. The church remains the parish church of the village and surrounding hamlets.
