An account of the church as it was in 1847 is given in Archdeacon Bonney's Church Notes, edited bv N. S. Harding, 1937 (p.74). Hamilton Thompson described the church to the Royal Archaeological Institute in 1946 (Archaeological Journal, Vol. CIII, p. 184) and he also dealt fully with the tower in his paper on Pre-Conquest Church Towers in North Lincolnshire (Associated Architectural Societies^t Reports & Papers, Vol. XXIX, Part I, 1907).

Some incidents in the late seventeenth century history of the town are mentioned in The Diary of Abraham de la Pryme (Surtees Society, 1870).
