Lincolnshire
has a reputation for being very flat but I live on the Lincolnshire Wolds. People have liked living here since the
Romans set up their camp many hundreds of years ago but the heart of the
present town is Georgian. There are lots
of lovely elegant Georgian and Victorian houses here.

| The Church of St Peter and St Paul, Caistor |
But before George 1 came to the throne or Victoria was even thought about, two public buildings were erected in Caistor which remain to this day.
The
first was the parish church which has an Anglo Saxon tower so it’s no
Johnny-come-lately. It’s not always
snowy in Caistor but my cousin took this lovely photo. Soon the church will be surrounded by lovely
daffodils.
Just
across the close from the church is the Grammar School which dates from 1631. Most of the buildings are rather more modern
than this! One of the school’s claims to
fame is that Jordan Duckitt, one of the youth ambassadors who lit the
Olympic flame in 2012 was a pupil here at the time.
And
even more important – my mum was a pupil there long before that!
Such a beautiful church and looking a real delight covered in snow. I imagine it will look stunning surrounded by daffodils.
