P. B. G. Binnall

Editor of the Buildings of England series Nikolaus Pevsner thanked Binnall in the Preface to the Lincolnshire volume of the series, noting that he: 'put his unparalleled knowledge of Lincolnshire churches at our disposal and went... through all I had written'. In the volume, further credit to Binnall's work appears with reference to All Saints' Church, Beckingham, with Binnall providing a 14th-century dating for the Chapel of St Mary, and the masonry of St Peter's at Newton on Trent.

Binnall was a Church of England cleric. He was a Canon of Lincoln and held the positions of: Curate of Caistor (1932–1936); Perpetual Curate of Holland Fen (1936–1945); Rector of East and West Barkwith (1945–1961); and Sub-Dean of Lincoln (1961–1975).

Peter Blannin Gibbons Binnall FSA (1907–1980) was a minister of the Church of England and antiquary. He was a Canon of Lincoln and his final position was Sub-Dean of Lincoln. He wrote books on English churches and cathedrals, which often included his own photography. Binnall was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries for his contributions to scholarship on ecclesiastical architecture.
