July 2021 Family History in Lincolnshire Part 3

Today we are off to North Lincolnshire beginning in Wrawby

Every village should have a beautiful map like this, pointing out the historic features.

Appleby proved difficult to get to thanks to a road closure However once there a nearby gent saw us wandering around the churchyard and came with the key – so helpful.

Then as we were so close we went over the bridge

Obviously a lot of money has been spent and its very popular

Back to Barrow upon Humber

Good signage

Then Ulceby

St Nicholas

And to Louth

St James

Not quite sure who he is

Moved from Wagtail to Osgodby near Market Rasen. Very pleasant tranquil site. We were the sole occupants for two nights. We were given fresh eggs too

Next day we went to Gainsborough, Our last visit there was by boat in Spring 2017 on our way to Lincoln

Gainsborough Old Hall

We worth the membership! A really excellent advert! Must start counting as we visit…..

Gainsborough All Saints. Notice the older tower was not replaced when the regency church was built.

All Saints interior

St Peter Torksey

Torksey lock where we left the River Trent to join the roman canal the Fossdyke, thought to have been built AD 120, that meets the River Witham in Lincoln.

The end of our visit to Lincolnshire but not the end of the family quest!
