About This Book

The volume collects descriptive antiquarian accounts of numerous rural parishes around Horncastle, with entries that combine place-name etymology, local topography, church and archaeological remains, parish registers, and lists of landholders, together with practical community details such as postal arrangements. The author describes a research method based on pedestrian visitation and archival enquiry, acknowledges gaps, repetitions, and editorial limitations, and appends corrigenda and cross-references while indicating further planned work. The result is a factual, locality-focused compilation that blends antiquarian observation with practical information for residents and researchers.
