Middle Rasen farmer sires two Mayors for Grimsby
My 2nd G/Grandfather, Robert Milner (1794-1870), married Mary Ann Norton on 25th April 1821 in St. Peters Church, Middle Rasen, winessed by Thomas Miller, Nicholas Danby and Frances Popple. They had ten children, all born in Middle Rasen, and the family remained there until my grandfather Christopher Miller (1865-1937), grandson of Robert Milner, moved to Grimsby and later became Mayor of that town in the year 1912/13. Walter Banyard Smith (1913-1993), a 2nd G/Grandson of Robert Miller, was also Mayor of Grimsby in the year 1980/81.

The Green Dragon Inn
Memories of my husband and I as managers of The Dragon in the early70s, our staff were Mary Lambert, Val Lovely (I think she has changed her name)and Pam Verges, and the lovely football players from Lincoln City, especially the Percy Freeman one, if you're all still out there I would love to hear from any old customers and friends.

Sleeping inside Lincoln Castle
My Grandfather, Harry Westwood, was custodian at the Castle for many years, retiring in 1966. He passed the position to his son Tom Westwood, my uncle. Tom retired in 1986. As a child I would sleep inside the castle gatehouse at weekends, but since Tom Westwood retired in 1986, I believe that the castle is now managed by Lincolnshire County Council without having a resident custodian living on ther premises.

Monks abbey
I used to play in the abbey in the war time as then it had an air bomb shelter, we used to think that there was a tunnel under the abbey to the cathedral.

Extracts From Hemswell & Lincolnshire books
The houses on the right were built by the council not long before the photograph was taken, and from their appearance several are now privately owned. The large tree behind the barn has gone, but the grass verge is still in being and in fairly good condition. Opposite the houses is a very busy horse-training yard - well over twenty horses go for walks down the local country lanes.

East of Gainsborough the Market Rasen road climbs the Lincoln Cliff, the limestone ridge which runs due north from Lincoln at about two hundred feet above sea level. In its lee is the old Roman road, Ermine Street, while at its foot, on the spring line, are a line of villages, mostly built from the local limestone. This one, Hemswell is well known for its maypole.

Behind a dry stone wall All Saints’ Church sits in the centre of the winding main street of the village. Its tower dates from the 1760s; the bulk of the remainder was rebuilt in the 1860s, although there is medieval work inside, including the nave arcade.
