Fleet is a village and civil parish in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies on Delph Bank, 3 miles (4.8 km) south-east from Holbeach.
Fleet Grade I listed Anglican church, dating from the late 12th century, is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene.[1] The 120 foot high church tower with spire is detached from the nave by 15 feet. The fabric is mainly of Decorated style, with Early English arcades and a Perpendicular west window. The church was restored in 1860, when the chancel was rebuilt, although retaining the canopied sedilia.[2][3]
