About This Book

A richly illustrated travel and topographical guide that leads readers along the county’s principal roads and lesser byways, describing towns, villages, rolling wolds, marshes and fenlands, and numerous churches and medieval remains. The author follows motor routes radiating from major towns, providing architectural description, local history, and place-by-place notes, alongside chapters on the cathedral, monastic sites, fen churches, rural customs, folk song and notable families. Practical observations about landscape, views and travel combine with antiquarian detail and sketches of local life to offer both a route planner and a cultural portrait of Lincolnshire.
