About the author
Born in 1831 and remembered as an English clergyman, poet, and author, he is especially associated with Lincolnshire. Reference listings for his work and author pages identify him as James Conway Walter, and they consistently connect his writing to the history and character of that part of England.
His best-known books include A History of Horncastle, from the Earliest Period to the Present Time, Records of Woodhall Spa and Neighbourhood, and Records, Historical and Antiquarian, of Parishes Round Horncastle. These works show a lasting interest in local history, antiquarian research, and the small details that help a town or parish come alive for later readers.
Walter died in 1913. Today, his writing remains valuable not only for historical facts, but also for the way it preserves the voice, memory, and texture of Lincolnshire communities.
