Memorials of Old Lincolnshire

Listeners will be guided through the diverse landscape of England’s second‑largest county, where the flat marshes, rolling wolds and endless skies create a subtle yet compelling backdrop. The narration blends vivid description of yellow sands, rivers converging at Alkborough, and sweeping vistas from Lincoln’s ancient minster to the far‑reaching horizon. Along the way, the voice of a seasoned antiquarian presents the county’s celebrated sons—from Newton and Tennyson to the explorer Franklin—highlighting the rich cultural tapestry that has shaped its identity.

The volume is organized into a series of concise surveys, beginning with the prehistoric barrows that dot the countryside and moving through Roman settlements, Saxon churches and the striking architecture of medieval priors. Detailed explorations of Stamford, Boston, Grantham and the elegant Tattershall Castle reveal the everyday life and artistry of past centuries. Interspersed with period photographs and scholarly commentary, the work offers listeners a well‑rounded portrait of Lincolnshire’s monuments, religious heritage and the enduring spirit of its people.
