ADDLETH0RPE Cut with a knife on the western pilaster of the porch is—
"January 1686
Praise God."
The glory of this church is its wealth of old wood work, in which it is not surpassed by any in the county, though its neighbour, Winthorpe, runs it hard.

Addlethorpe and Ingoldmells.
The chancel here, as at the older Decorated church of Ingoldmells, which is within half a mile, has been pulled down. and the rood screen acts as a reredos. There are two extremely good parclose screens, and old benches with carved ends throughout the church. Another fine oak screen goes across the tower arch, inscribed, "Orate pro animabus Johannis Dudeck Senior et uxor̄ ejus." The noble roof is the original one. The pulley-*block for lowering the rood light is still visible on the easternmost tie-beam but one, as it is also at Winthorpe and Grimoldby. A new rafter at the west end has painted on it, "Struck by fireball June 27, 1850."
The Boston wool trade is alluded to in the epitaph
