A Victorian church on the edge of the Wolds with views to the coast. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place - a secluded setting in the trees with no electricity or water, but a hidden delight. Photo by D Hitchborne

Genuine example of early Georgian chapel collegiate estate church (temple style) built 1733. Connections to Dashwood family. Grave of a gamekeeper, murdered by poachers - it is believed this event led to the Lincolnshire poacher song. Photo by Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service
