This chapel having been long too small for the increasing population of the town, a handsome church is now building by subscription and a grant from the Church Building Society, at the cost of bout £3000, in the Gothic style, with a tower 82 feet high. This handsome fabric is now in rapid progress, and will be finished in 1842. The stone was given by Sir John Nelthorpe, whose lady laid the first stone, August 16th, 1841. The Independents and the Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists have each a chapel here, and the two latter were built in 1840. That belonging to the Wesleyans is in lieu of the old chapel, now converted into a school, and was opened January 1st, 1841. It is a large and handsome building, in the Grecian style of architecture, of white brick, with stone dressings. The FREE SCHOOL was founded by Sir John Nelthorpe, Bart., who, by will, in 1669, directed his executors to build a "fair school-house and dwelling-house upon his closes, called the Town's-end closes, at Brigg, and endow the intended school with the said closes, and also with all his lands and hereditaments at Horncastle, West Ashby, Ulceby, and Fullsby; the Townsend Closes, and the lands at Horncastle and West Ashby, with one oiety of the estate at Fullsby, to be for the maintenance of the headmaster; the lands at Ulceby to be for the support of the usher, and the other moiety of the estate at Fullsby, to be expended in providing lodgings, diet, clothes, and books, for as many boys of Legsby and Fullsby, as the income would maintain in the said school, where the founder directed that they should be educated with the other scholars until they have learnt to read and write, and attained "good skill in arithmatic." He further directed that all the children of the inhabitants of Brigg, Wrawby, Messingham, North Kelsey, Legsby, Ulceby, Fullsby, West Ashby, Scalby; Broughton and Castlethorpe, should be taught the Latin, (Greek and Hebrew languages, "to write also and arithmetic," and should have their learning Gratis; and that all other children sent to the said school from other places, should be taught to read, write, and cast accounts without any charge whatever. The Earl of Yarborough, Sir. C.J.Anderson, R.C.Elwes, Esq.,(lord of the manor,) and T.G.Corbett,Esq., are the acting trustees.
