Tattershall is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. Tattershall is situated on the A153 Horncastle to Sleaford road, 1 mile east from the point where that road crosses the River Witham.
At its eastern end, Tattershall adjoins the village of Coningsby, with the two being separated by the River Bain. In the same parish is the hamlet of Tattershall Thorpe. Local public houses are the Black Horse on the High Street and the Fortescue Arms in the Market Place. The Fortesque Arms dates from the 15th century and is a Grade II listed building. Barnes Wallis Academy (built 1954) is a secondary modern school on Butts Lane for pupils aged from 11 to 16. The school also serves Coningsby and Woodhall Spa.
The remaining wreckage of the Boeing jumbo jet that was blown-up on 21 December 1988 over Lockerbie in Scotland is stored at a scrapyard near Tattershall. The remains include the plane's nose and cockpit. Tattershall Carrs forms the last remaining remnants of ancient wet woodland, dominated by alder that once ringed the margins of the Fens.
Village historic sites include the church of the Holy Trinity, a buttercross, Tattershall Castle, Collegiate College, and Tom Thumb's house and grave. Tattershall Castle was built in 1434 by Ralph de Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell - Henry VI's Lord High Treasurer - on the site of an earlier 13th-century stone castle, of which some remains are extant, particularly the Grand Tower and moat.
An octagonal 15th-century buttercross stands in the Market Place. It is both a Grade I listed structure and an ancient scheduled monument. A charter to hold a weekly market was granted by King John in 1201 in return for an annual fee of a trained goshawk.
Tattershall railway station was a station on the line between Boston and Lincoln until closure. The Old Station House, a stationmasters house and ticket office, is a Grade II listed building. Adjacent to the castle is the Grade I listed Perpendicular-style Holy Trinity Collegiate Church, endowed by Ralph de Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell, but built after his death.
Adjacent to the Market Place are the remains of Tattershall College which was built by Lord Cromwell for the education of the choristers of Holy Trinity Church. The College was an example of perpendicular style of Gothic architecture. In the late 18th century it was converted to a brewery, and later left empty – today it is a ruin. The walls that remain are supported by modern brick. Heritage Lincolnshire currently manages the site, which is Grade II* listed, and an ancient scheduled monument.

Thorpeness is a village in the county of Suffolk, England. It is part of the parish of Aldringham cum Thorpe and is within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB. The village was originally a small fishing hamlet in the late 19th century, with folklore stories of it being a route for smugglers into East Anglia. However in 1910, Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie, a Scottish barrister who had made his money designing railways around the world, bought the entire area from north of Aldeburgh to past Sizewell, up the coast and inland to Aldringham and Leiston.
Most of this land was used for farming but Ogilvie developed Thorpeness into a private fantasy holiday village, to which he invited his friends' and colleagues' families during the summer months. A country club with tennis courts, a swimming pool, a golf course and clubhouse, and many holiday homes, were built in Jacobean and Tudor Revival styles. Thorpeness railway station, provided by the Great Eastern Railway to serve what was expected to be an expanding resort, was opened a few days before the outbreak of World War I. It was little used, except by golfers, and closed in 1966.
A notable feature of the village is a set of almshouses built in the 1920s to the design of W.G. Wilson. To hide the eyesore of having a water tower in the village, the tank was clad in wood to make it look like a small house on top of a 5-storey tower, with a separate water-pumping windmill next to it. It is known as the House in the Clouds, and after mains water was installed in the village the old tank was transformed into a huge games room with views over the land from Aldeburgh to Sizewell.
For three generations Thorpeness remained mostly in the private ownership of the Ogilvie family, with houses only being sold from the estate to friends as holiday homes. In 1972, Alexander Stuart Ogilvie, Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie's grandson, died on the Thorpeness Golf Course and many of the houses and the golf course and country club were sold to pay death duties.
Thorpeness is a quiet village of about 400 people in the winter, swelling to over 1,600 people in the summer holidays, with the highlight being a regatta on the Meare at the end of August and a huge fireworks display. It is also a popular day trippers destination with its beach and Meare, amenities and sights such as the House in the Clouds.
The Ogilvies still have a strong presence in the village and many of the families coming there for their holidays have been doing so for generations. Also many of the families of the craftsmen who helped build the village are still there. Thorpeness was listed as the 'Weirdest Village in England' by 'Bizarre' magazine in 2003.

HODTHORPE AND BELPH: Bolsover Parish #4 of 16
A few years ago, this parish did not exist, at least not in it's current form. It was instead, attached to Whitwell, the entire area being governed by Whitwell Parish Council. Nowadays, it has been split off from its much larger neighbour with the Robin Hood Line forming the boundary.
That's not to say Whitwell doesn't still have a massive role to play in how this area is today. For starters, look no further than the quarry, which mines dolomite, a form of limestone. It is soon to br extended, which will alter the path of the railway line. Whitwell Colliery is also located here too, on an area called Belph Moor, which is nothing more than a spoil tip now.
The main village was built on coal. It even says that on the incredibly informative information board. Two main streets, lined with terraces, this was built to house workers at the colliery. Designed by Henry Sweet Hoddings, a man who is honoured thanks to the Hoddings Meadow estate currently being built, the village was a self sufficient pit settlement.
There were three chippys, two bakeries, and a chapel - all of which are now gone, but this place continues to manage quite well for itself without relying too much on Big Brother over the railway line.
Loads to see, loads to take in. This video was never designed to be this long, but I'm happy it ended up being. Enjoy the parish of HODTHORPE AND BELPH.

STOW: West Lindsey Parish #10 of 128
OK today on the channel we are looking at a village which has a very long history dating back way before the Norman Conquest. In the year 870 the Danes invaded and probably burnt down the church that once stood here but in its place was built one of the most magnificent structures in all of Lincolnshire.
Historically Lincolnshire was divided into three parts these being the parts of Lindsey, Parts of Kesteven and the Parts of Holland. During that time this village was known as being in Lindsey to distinguish it from another village of the same name in Kesteven. These days it's just known as it's first part but it does give its name to a load of other settlements around it including Sturton, Willingham and Normanby.
The village pub here is one of the most popular in the area attracting people from all over this part of Lincolnshire. Its good food and general good country atmosphere coupled with the takeaway and delivery service it does means it's onto a winner.
Overlooked by the Minster, the centre of the village is quintessentially British. The parish boundaries also cover a few other hamlets including Coates which has a little bit of history all by itself in fact and the beautiful little church of St Ediths is well worth a visit. In times gone by this places population would have been much higher but for the intervention of the Black Death in the 14th century.
Welcome to the gem of Western Lincolnshire known as STOW.

Gerrards Cross is a town and civil parish in the South Bucks district of Buckinghamshire, England. It is in the south of the county, separated from the London Borough of Hillingdon at Harefield by Denham. London is centred 19 miles east. Geographically large and suburban, Gerrards Cross is south of Chalfont St Peter and north of Fulmer and Hedgerley. It spans foothills of the Chiltern Hills and land on the right bank of the River Misbourne — it has a central public park, Gerrards Cross Common and Bulstrode Park Camp, a preserved area of land which was an Iron Age fortified encampment.
The town has a railway station on the Chiltern main line whose operator provides a fast service from the station to London and the M40 motorway is beside woodland on the southern boundary of the civil parish and the settlement has a commercial and leisure central area which is smaller than the nearby town of Beaconsfield.
The town name is new compared with the great bulk of English towns. Gerrards Cross did not exist in any formal sense until 1859 when it was formed by taking pieces out of the five parishes of Chalfont St Peter, Fulmer, Iver, Langley Marish and Upton to form a new ecclesiastical parish. It is named after the Gerrard family who in the early 17th century owned a manor here. At that time homes which were not farms were smallholdings clustered in a hamlet in the south of an elongated parish of Chalfont St Peter. Near its centre is site of an Iron Age minor hillfort, Bulstrode Park Camp, which is a scheduled ancient monument Originally named Jarrett's Cross before the times of the Gerrard family, after a highwayman.
The large and distinctive parish church is dedicated to St. James. It was built in 1861 as a memorial to Colonel George Alexander Reid[citation needed] who was MP for Windsor and designed by Sir William Tite in yellow brick with a Byzantine style dome, Chinese looking turrets and an Italianate Campanile. In 1969 the singer Lulu married Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees in the church. The actress Margaret Rutherford is buried with her husband Stringer Davis in the St James Church graveyard. The town has its own library, various restaurants and its own cinema, the Everyman Gerrards Cross.
Independent schools include Maltman's Green School (all girls), St Mary's, Gayhurst and Thorpe House. Students of secondary school age attend either one of the local grammar schools, such as Dr Challoner's Grammar School (Boys), Dr Challoner's High School (Girls), The Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe (Boys), John Hampden Grammar School (Boys), and Beaconsfield High School (Girls) Chesham Grammar School (Co-ed), or the local Upper School, Chalfonts Community College, which is the catchment school.
On the south side of the town is the Gerrards Cross Memorial Building, on the site of the former vicarage. The building was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and unveiled in 1922 to commemorate the town's losses during the First World War. It is the only example of a Lutyens war memorial designed with a functional purpose.
Just outside Gerrards Cross, on the A40 to Beaconsfield, is Wapseys Wood landfill site, one of the largest landfill sites in the UK, operated by Veolia Landfill Ltd. It accepts up to 900,000 tonnes of non hazardous waste each year from south Buckinghamshire, London and other areas. The landfill gas produced from the waste yields over 10 megawatts of electricity which is fed into the power grid.

Cuckoo Way Walk - Chesterfield Canal Explore - Norwood Tunnel to Shireoaks.
Following on from our previous videos of the 'Missing Section' of the Chesterfield Canal, we pick up at the Eastern portal of the closed Norwood Tunnel (closed 1907).
We head in an easterly direction for around 4 miles to the small ex-mining town of Shireoaks.
We pass through Kiveton Park, where we see the old Dog Kennel Lane Wharf. This was where stone bound the the Palace of Westminster was loaded on to canal boats.
The landscape takes on a rural and peaceful feel as we alternate between thick tree covered avenues, to open countryside. After a few miles, we begin our decent down the ladder of locks. We pass through the hamlet of Turnerwood, which stradles the canal.
The Chesterfield Canal was designed by James Brindley and opened in 1777. It runs for 46 miles from Chesterfield in the west to the River Trent at West Stockwith in the East. It loops through Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire; hugging the contour lines as it meanders across the East Midlands. The Cuckoo Way is the name for the footpath that follows the canal (or it's route) for the entire 46 miles.

My channel was set up in 2020 mainly to feature my running adventures. I planned to film and showcase the days out and destinations my running travels took me. Mainly the Peak District and the sights and marvels of Sheffield and the surrounding regions.
However due to Covid restrictions, I found a new interest in researching and exploring old abandoned places - railway lines, canal, woodland, parks to name a few.
So the videos you'll find will be mainly be of those things. Of course, where possible I'll be running to my destination.

ASKHAM: Bassetlaw Parish #26 of 66
Our journey through Bassetlaw takes us now into a different postcode area. Everything up to now has been within the bounds of DN22 (Retford), S81 or S80 (Worksop) or DN10 or DN11 (Doncaster). Today's parish sees us break into NEWARK, as this village lies within the boundaries of NG22.
With a population of just 181 people todays village is one of the smallest in the entire district, but honestly, I found this one quite charming. For one, if you come here, you're not going to be finding any amenities like a village shop or a post office. You will find a pub and a church but to be honest, that's about your lot, or so I thought until I discovered the Village Hall too.
What you'll find is a small corner of the world that just lets rural life pass it by with no questions asked. People out here are quite happy to just enjoy the peacefulness of the surrounding rolling countryside this part of Nottinghamshire affords them, and if you can stump up the £362,000 or so you'd need for the average property, then why not?
The village has a connection to the National Garden Scheme, a bridge that carries a section of the East Coast Main Line, a small substation and a book exchange. Not really selling this one much am I? Well perhaps one of the more interesting things here would be Amy Newton's Photography, a local camera wielder who uses the old granary at Manor Farm to provide people with some stunning photographic work.
Enjoy the surroundings, take a walk in this tiny village. Have a read of the information board about the church clock, and finish it all with a pint in The Duke William. Small but perfectly formed, this is ASKHAM.

HARBY: Newark and Sherwood Parish #19 of 84
Now we come to the Easternmost village in the English county of Nottinghamshire sitting as it does on that same tongue of land that Thorney and Wigsley both do. Despite being in Nottinghamshire, the nearest city is Lincoln, over the border in Lincolnshire and it has close connections with quite a few local villages, some we’ve seen and some we’ve yet to see. One such village is Doddington
Doddington lies over the county border into Lincolnshire but one thing in particular in this episode has an important connection to Doddington Hall. It’s also linked to places like Saxilby, Skellingthorpe, Broadholme, Thorney and Wigsley, sharing as it does, borders with them. Another is Tuxford. The village falls with the catchment area for Tuxford Academy
For a small village, it has quite a lot of important history. Arguably the biggest event would be the death here of Eleanor of Castile, Queen Consort of King Edward I of England. The house where her death occurred was the manor house, home of Richard de Weston in 1290. There’s nothing left of the house now. Queen Eleanor’s story begins in Clipstone, near Mansfield. The queen had become ill whilst staying at the royal hunting lodge there.
Using the ferry at South Clifton, she had been transported over the Trent to pray for her recovery at the shrine of St Hugh in Lincoln, but died whilst staying here on the way. The Queen's body was transported to London for burial. The King ordered Eleanor crosses to be built at each place where her body had rested overnight on the journey. Perhaps one of the most famous crosses on that route would be the very last one – Charing Cross. It’s amazing to think a small village like this has a connection to a major London landmark!
This is a village of windmills, tractors, railway lines and car boot sales as well, and lets not forget the plane crash too! Welcome to HARBY.

THORPE IN THE FALLOWS: West Lindsey Parish #9 of 128
Another fine day in Lincolnshire keeps this ex-Lincoln native happy today on the channel, and how much happier could a country boy be when he's surrounded by open farmland, there's not a noise to be heard other than the peaceful waving of the long grass and the occasional tweet from a passing bird?
It's not too long ago though that this village would have been a lot more than that. These days if you come here you're met with a handful of houses, a population of less than a hundred, a few farm buildings and a whole lot of open countryside. Back in the 11th century, as a medieval village, things were very different. There was a thriving population, the village much larger and more heavily populated. There was even a church, but that has since been demolished in the 17th century.
Slowly but surely, after the 16th century Dissolution of the Monasteries, this village became depopulated, shrinking to the size it is now. One quirky fact that did remain though was its uniqueness in being know by three different names. The village east of here is called Aisthorpe (a parish we will see in due course), whose name literally means East Thorpe. As a result, this place is sometimes known as West Thorpe.
It's official name is not West Thorpe though, and the same cannot be said about the road sign that you see on entrance to the village either. Thorpe le Fallows may tell you that's what it is, but the parish name is ever so slightly different. Whatever you wish to call it, it is situated on the The River Till. No dispute there.
There's some Sturton by Stow bonus footage in this one, but for the most part, this is the tiny rural hamlet of THORPE IN THE FALLOWS

BISHOPTHORPE: York Parish #20 of 31
YORK PARISH #20: BISHOPTHORPE
I hope you like your history. This one’s got way more than its fair share. This is Bishopthorpe, a very historic village located three miles to the south of York city centre, close to the A64. Close to the River Ouse, a large chunk of the village is a conservation area, as has been since 1989. When you see some of the landmarks here, you kind of understand why!
Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974, Bishopthorpe is another York parish which has seen time as part of Selby, until being transferred to York in 1996. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book as “Torp” and came to be known as “Thorp-super-Usam” or “Thorpe-on-Ouse” in 1194. By 1275 the earliest written record of the name Bishopthorpe appeared, spelt Biscupthorpe.
In 1202, the first church was built here and it was dedicated to St Andrew. This led to the village being renamed to St Andrewthorpe, but in the 13th century, it was renamed again when Archbishop Walter de Grey bought the manor house and gave it to the Dean and Chapter of York Minster. The house would become Bishopthorpe Palace, the official residence of the Archbishop of York.
In 1323, Bishopthorpe also the meeting place of a great council which agreed a truce between Edward II and Robert the Bruce, whose forces had been harrying Yorkshire following the Battle of Bannockburn. Just your average village then, right?
Let’s dive in!

THORP ARCH: Leeds Parish #18 of 38
So today there’s a village to walk around, but first we’ve got to get there, starting from where we left off last week. That means our first landmarks are not within the village. First up is HMP Wealstun Prison formed by an amalgamation two prisons built in 1965. The amalgamation took place in 1995 and it was an historic development for the Prison Service
The resulting prison had a category C closed side and category D open side within one establishment. Further building development has taken place at the prison in recent years. It’s now a category C prison fully, and opened as such in 2010 after building work was completed on the former category D part of the prison. Wikipedia lists one notable inmate – Owen Oyston
The village is on the north bank of the River Wharfe which separates it from Boston Spa to the south. This will be the very first time we’ve encountered the River Wharfe on the channel. The Wharfe is 65 miles long making it the 21st longest river in Britain. It is a public navigation from Tadcaster to its junction with the Ouse near Cawood and its tidal from Ulleskelf to the Ouse.
The village is quite small in comparison to the area that the parish boundaries cover. It has relatively few amenities but it does have a primary school and public house. The first written record of the village was in the Domesday book when it consisted of three farms, a church and a mill. It was recorded as “Torp”.
After the Norman conquest, the village became part of the lands which passed to Osbern of Arques and as a result became known as Thorp D'Archis and this eventually became THORP ARCH.

BIGBY: West Lindsey Parish #48 of 128
Situated about 10 miles South of the Humber Bridge, and 4 miles East of the town of Brigg sharing an administrative border with North Lincolnshire is this place. The hamlets of Kettleby and Kettleby Thorpe lie within the parish, although Somerby which is actually closer to the main village does not. You can quite easily walk to Somerby from here.
The village lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boy over these next few episodes you’ll see why it is. There’s a board about the wolds here. A viking settlement, the name comes from the Old Norse personal name “Bekki”, and the word “býr”, meaning settlement or farmstead. Thus, this is Bekki’s farmstead.
This is one of four Thankful Villages in Lincolnshire. There’s a term we’ve met before in both Edenthorpe and Wigsley. To remind you, it means the village lost no men in the First World War. Despite that, there is a war memorial in the churchyard in remembrance of a local man and his comrade shot down during the Second World War
Pingley Farm, or Camp 81, was the site of a WWII POW which was purpose-built to house 750 low-risk Italian prisoners. The camp has been demolished as of January 2009, and the site redeveloped as housing. It’s right next to Brigg Garden Centre, which also falls within the boundaries. There’s plenty more too, including a mention or two of Sir Robert Tyrwhit
This is all in a brand new area of West Lindsey to the channel. Welcome to BIGBY

Bucklers Hard Historic Maritime Museum and Village, Beaulieu, New Forest, Hampshire, England. ( 5 )
Bucklers Hard is a hamlet situated on the banks of the Beaulieu River in the English county of Hampshire. With its Georgian cottages running down to the river, Bucklers Hard is part of the 9,000 acres ( 36 km2 ) Beaulieu Estate. The hamlet is located some 21⁄2 miles ( 4.0 km ) south of the village of Beaulieu. The hamlet, originally called Montagu Town, was built by the second Duke of Montagu, and was intended to be a free port for trade with the West Indies.
Bucklers Hard was the birthplace of many British naval vessels, including many of Admiral Nelson's fleet, using the timber of the New Forest. The Hard, under the control of Master shipbuilder Henry Adams was responsible for building many famous ships during the late 18th century and early 19th centuries. These included HMS Euryalus, HMS Swiftsure and HMS Agamemnon, all of which fought at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The industry declined in the nineteenth-century and today the hamlet is given over to tourism, with a small maritime museum, and a modern yachting marina. During World War II, the village was used to build motor torpedo boats and the river was a base for hundreds of landing craft for the Normandy invasion, Operation Overlord. Bucklers Hard was where Sir Francis Chichester began and finished his single-handed voyage around the world in Gipsy Moth IV.
Discover the fascinating story of Montagu Town as it was originally known. Founded as a free port for the trading of sugar from the West Indies, the newly re-designed Maritime Museum tells why the ambitious plans for a new town were never realised and why its name changed to Buckler’s Hard. Learn about the machine gun that fired round and square bullets and see characters from the village at the time of Henry Adams, the Master Shipbuilder who lived and worked at Buckler's Hard. Buckler’s Hard developed as a thriving shipbuilding village where warships for Nelson’s Navy were built, three of which took part in the Battle of Trafalgar. See models of these ships including HMS Euryalus on which the dispatch was written containing the news of the great victory and of Nelson’s death. View Nelson memorabilia including his baby clothes, made for him by the citizens of his birthplace, Burnham Thorpe, in Norfolk.
In more recent times, the village played a significant role in the D-Day landings. Learn about the activity on the river during the years of WWII, the building of segments of the Mulberry Harbour, which were towed across to the Normandy coast in preparation for D-Day, and the many hundreds of landing craft that sailed from the Beaulieu River to support the Normandy landings. A film presentation tells the story of Buckler’s Hard at war.
Admission price includes entrance to the Maritime Museum and Buckler’s Hard Story and all day car parking.

NORTH KELSEY: West Lindsey Parish #68 of 128
WEST LINDSEY PARISH #68: NORTH KELSEY
North Kelsey, the first of the two Kelsey twins is situated some 4 miles west of Caistor, and 6 miles southeast of Brigg, on West Lindsey’s border with North Lincolnshire
The larger of the two Kelseys, North Kelsey parish is also one of the biggest in the district, covering not only the main village but also the hamlet of North Kelsey Moor and most of RAF Caistor
It used to be a little smaller though. In 1887, North Kelsey parish was enlarged by gaining Twelve Month Hill and part of Round Farm from Searby cum Owmby
The parish covers 6,227 acres in total. Both the village and the parish sit on a branch of the River Ancholme called the North Kelsey Beck
Surprisingly North Kelsey doesn’t have much information about itself online. Mind you, what it lacks in that department, it makes up for with some beautiful landmarks
These include a four-floored brick tower mill, built in the early 19th century, which was operated by both wind and steam power before being abandoned in 1905.
It also has amazing scenic views of the Lincolnshire Wolds, some brilliantly picturesque properties, including the massive Church Farm, and a bywell pump on the village green
Lets get moving and see what the larger of the Kelsey twins is like!
