2 | The Lincolnshire Wolds
Welcome to the Lincolnshire Wolds…
Think Lincolnshire is flat? This
picturesque rolling landscape will
change your mind.
For three decades the Wolds have
been an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty, one of only 37 in England, and
covers 216sq miles. Nestling amongst
these hills, moulded through Ice Ages,
are sleepy stone villages and bustling
market towns steeped in history and just
waiting to be discovered.
Leave the car. Take a walk or cycle
through this wonderful countryside and
explore its hidden valleys, lush flora,
streams and rivers. Use your time to
meet the local people who are proud of
their heritage and local traditions.
This is a landscape that inspired one of
England’s greatest poets, Alfred Lord
Tennyson, born in Somersby. Search out
his ‘haunt of ancient peace’ described in
his poetry or visit the village where he
was born.

Alford Market
Alford
At the eastern foot of the Wolds nestles
the market town of Alford. Renowned for
its popular summer craft markets during
the Easter, Whitsun and August Bank
Holiday Festivals. This is where craftsmen
from all over the country gather works
of art and street entertainers amuse the
crowds, every visitor is guaranteed a
memorable experience.
Steeped in history, Alford is a town that
claims links with US Presidents. It was the
birthplace of female preacher and ‘first
American feminist’ Anne Hutchinson,
who founded the State of Rhode Island
and from whom Presidents Roosevelt and
Bush are said to be directly descended.
Alford is also where New World
adventurer Captain John Smith first went
to school in the 16th century. Smith
was born in nearby Willoughby and the
welcoming parish church of St Helena
still has the same font today that was
used to baptize him in 1580. To discover
more about Smith, why not go ‘On the

villages where he grew up.
Here you will also find (reputedly) the largest
thatched house in England, Alford Manor House.
Having undergone major refurbishment in 2006,
investment in the Manor House continues and is
definitely worth a visit.
The dramatic Five-Sailed Windmill, built by Sam
Oxley, offers a wonderful welcome into the town.
Its creaking sails gently turn, milling the grain that
is used to produce the delicious cakes and snacks
available in the Tea Room and Mill Shop.

Burgh le Marsh
Lying between the Wolds and the
coast is Burgh le Marsh, once a Roman
Settlement now a thriving market town
whose charter was granted in 1401.
Approaching Burgh the sky is filled
with impressive views of two historic
landmarks, the windmill and the
beautiful 14th century parish church,
the Church of St Peter and St Paul.
Stately Dobson’s Mill, a windmill
dating back to 1813, is still working
today. What makes the mill unique
to Lincolnshire is that the sails turn
clockwise as it has five left-handed sails.
The Church of St Peter and St Paul is
a handsome building with a strikingly
painted clock face that was originally
meant for the Market Place, and warns
that one should ‘Watch and pray for ye
know not when the time is’. The sound
of the church bells reputedly saved the
lives of a ship’s crew at the time when
the coastline was much closer.
Nearby to the town is Gunby Hall,

Church of St Peter and St Paul
built by Sir William Massingberd in 1770, and
which Alfred, Lord Tennyson described as ‘an
English home... all things in order stored, a haunt
of ancient peace’. These words can be seen, hand
written by Tennyson himself, in the library.
Gunby Hall, now owned by the National Trust, is
a beautiful example of a stately home. There are
panelled rooms and a beautiful oak staircase, as
well as many fine paintings, items of furniture and
china. The exquisite walled gardens are planted
with traditional English vegetables, fruit and
flowers, and contain a dovecote that was built
prior to the house.

Antique shopping
Horncastle
Nestling in the valley of the River
Bain, it was ancient Rome that spotted
Horncastle’s potential when it built a
Roman settlement here. Not much of old
Rome remains, though part of the town
wall can still be seen in the library on
Wharf Road.
These days Horncastle is better known
for its scores of antiques and collectables
shops, selling everything from furniture
and jewellery to books and porcelain,
there is also a host of restaurants, pubs
and cafes offering a tasty break from
shopping.
The beautiful landscaped gardens at Bain
Valley Park are perfect for picnics or a
place to sit and relax.
Horncastle was also the home town
of Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who
financed Captain Cook’s voyage around
the world in 1771 in the ‘Endeavor’ and
was President of the Royal Society for 41
years. He founded the Australian colony
of New South Wales, took breadfruit to
the West Indies and the mango from
Bengal.

The house where he lived with his eleven siblings,
the former rectory, is now a cottage but not open to
the public. However a trip to the village of Somersby
provides an excellent opportunity to visit the church
where the Tennyson children were baptized as well as
view the various memorabilia on display.
Nearby you will find Snipe Dales Country Park and
Nature Reserve. Situated on the southern edge of
the Wolds, Snipe Dales is one of few semi-natural
wet valley systems still surviving. It offers a variety
of attractive walks through 36 hectares (90 acres) of
mainly coniferous woodland.

Louth
Louth is one of the most perfectly preserved
Georgian market towns in England. Known
as the capital of the Wolds, it has to be
explored on foot to get the greatest benefit
from its beautiful architecture and complex
street patterns, not forgetting its fantastic
speciality food shops selling local produce.
The town grew up alongside the small
River Lud and is one of the few settlements
throughout the world that stands astride
the Greenwich Meridian Line of zero
degrees longitude, meaning it has a foot in
both the Eastern and Western hemispheres.
Dominating the skyline is the breath-taking
295ft spire of the award-winning St James’
Church. The spire was a new addition to the
church in 1506, however the church itself
dates back to the 12th century.
On the outskirts of the town is Hubbard’s
Hills, a steep-sided chalk valley that is
125ft deep. It is an ideal place for walking
or picnicking. You can also see part of the
Louth Art Trail here (visit Louth Tourist
Information Centre for further details).

Spout Yard Park is another beautiful recreational area worth
visiting, featuring an art gallery and children’s play area.
A visit to Louth Museum should definitely be on your list
when visiting the town. The museum gives a fascinating
insight into the history of the town, its townsfolk and
wealth of heritage. You can also see two back-lit replicas
of William Brown’s Panorama of Louth viewed from the
top of St James’ spire in 1844.
Two of Lincolnshire’s famous sons were educated in
Louth at the King Edward VI Grammar School. Captain
John Smith was originally educated in Alford, however he
later attended King Edwards and 230 years later Alfred
Lord Tennyson also attended.

Sir John Franklin statue
Spilsby
This pleasant town has held a regular
weekly market since the Market Charter
was granted in 1302. Today the market
still attracts visitors and residents alike
looking to make that special purchase.
The restored Buttercross, (said to date
from the 14th century) has stood in
the Market Place for over 600 years.
However, overshadowing the Buttercross
is the impressive bronze statue of
the town’s most famous son, Sir John
Franklin, born in Spilsby in 1786.
Franklin joined the Royal Navy when
he was 14 and fought at Trafalgar with
Nelson before travelling to Australia
to survey the coast, naming various
settlements after Spilsby and the
surrounding villages. A plaque on the
wall of the Franklin House Bakery marks
his birthplace and a memorial to him
can be found within the parish church.
The colonnaded portico of the theatre
in Spilsby was undoubtedly built to
impress so it comes as no surprise that

this Grade Two listed building was originally
built as the main courthouse for the whole of
Lincolnshire. No doubt the defendants who came
to trial here were suitably subdued by the grand
surroundings of the Sessions House where cases
were heard from 1826 until 1878.
Nearby lie the remains of Bolingbroke Castle.
Bolingbroke was a Royalist stronghold until 1643,
when it surrendered to Parliamentary troops
when the Royalists were defeated at the battle of
Winceby. The castle eventually fell into decay and
became a ruin.

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight
Tattershall & Coningsby
As you approach Tattershall you will
see the skyline is dominated by the
huge brick-built medieval remains of
Tattershall Castle. Ralph Cromwell,
one of the most powerful men in
England, created the castle in the newly
fashionable style using red bricks in
1434. Sadly after Cromwell’s death in
1456 it fell into decline, but in 1911 the
castle was purchased and restored by
Lord Curzon, who left it to the National
Trust on his death in 1925.
Next to his castle Cromwell built the
impressive perpendicular style Holy
Trinity Church, founded in 1438. Here
you will find some of the finest medieval
stained glass in England, as well as the
grave of Tom Thumb by the font.
The original Tom Thumb is said to
have been only 18 inches tall, yet he
apparently lived to be 101. His home was
a very small house, of which a miniature
replica can be seen on the gable of the
Old School House in the market place.
The imposing tower of St Michael’s
Church oversees the appealing village of

Coningsby. Its unique one-handed clock face, dating
from the 17th century, lays claim to be the largest
working version of the ‘antique one-handed’ type still
in existence.
The village is also home to the Battle of Britain
Memorial Flight, formed in 1957 to commemorate
the Royal Air Force’s major battle honour, consisting
of several Spitfires, two Hurricanes, two Chipmunks, a
Dakota and a Lancaster.
In nearby East Kirkby you can find the Lincolnshire
Aviation Heritage Centre, which is based on a bomber
airfield from the 1940s. Here you will see ‘Just Jane’, a
preserved Lancaster Bomber.

Batemans Brewery
Wainfleet
The original Wainfleet was some
distance away from where the present
town stands. But as a result of rivalry
between two monasteries, the centre
of the town shifted to Wainfleet Haven,
which was then on the coast and a busy
port in the Middle Ages. Unfortunately
the Haven, on the River Steeping, began
to silt up as the coastline moved no
fewer than 5 miles further East, leaving
Wainfleet marooned.
Wainfleet may have lost its harbour
but the little town has many more
claims to fame, notably that William of
Waynflete (born 1398) became Bishop
of Winchester in 1447, became Lord
High Chancellor and founded Magdalen
College, Oxford. He left to the town of
his birth the Magdalen College School,
a striking red-brick building. These days
it’s a library, museum and café.
The town is also home to Batemans
Brewery, founded in 1874 and still run
by the same family. From miles around
you can see the unique ‘bottle beer’
weather vane on top of the brewery mill

Perhaps the most unusual group of buildings in the
town is the row of houses in Barkham Street. Built
in 1847 for the Bethlem Trust, these three storey
terraced houses are similar in style to those built for
the Trust in London, but here no effort was made to
fit them in with their surroundings.

Woodhall Spa
This town came into being because a
speculator dreamt of planting a forest,
building a city and sinking a coal mine. He
wasn’t successful in any of these ambitions
until 1821 when he sank a shaft. The shaft
flooded, water overflowed into a ditch,
the cattle drank it – and were cured of
their ailments! The locals then tried it out
and discovered it cured them. When the
local Lord of the Manor, Thomas Hotchkin,
decided it had cured his gout, he had the
water analysed. It contained six times more
iodine and bromine than any other known
mineral water and so the spa was born.
Following on from this discovery the town
started to develop and Woodhall Spa’s
hotels began to spring up.
One of these, Petwood House, played a key
role in Lincolnshire’s history during the
Second World War when, in 1943, it became
the Officers Mess for the 617 Squadron –
known as the famous ‘Dambusters’.
The Woodhall Spa Cottage Museum houses
a range of photographs, exhibits and
memorabilia from the towns past, including
a room dedicated to the 617 Squadron. It is
also home to the Tourist Information Centre.

Woodhall Spa is a place for peaceful walks and

the few back projection cinemas in the country with an
original Compton organ.

Natural Beauty
The Lincolnshire Wolds, designated an
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in
1973, has some of the highest ground in
eastern England.
Among the sand dunes and whitecapped breakers discover a hidden
coastline a world away from the family
fun resorts.
This wonderful landscape has been
moulded through the Ice Ages
and now offers some of the most
wonderful scenic views with rolling
hills and intimate valleys. This part of
Lincolnshire is rich in nature and we
treasure the heritage that both time and
our ancestors have left to us.
One of the largest unspoilt areas
of coastline in eastern England,
this is a place for nature lovers and
birdwatchers.
Take a trip northwards from Skegness
and discover a different Lincolnshire.
Gently sloping sand dunes hug mile
upon mile of sand offering a hidden
coast where nature comes alive.
