Boyhood in Navenby
This is the village where I was born and grew up. The first shop on the right was my Dad's, a Butcher. This was next to Welbourn's the baker. The other side of Tenters Lane was another Bakers, Marshall's.
The village school then was in Church Lane next to the church and the teachers were Miss True, Mr Wright, Miss Milner, and Mr Powley, the Head. I went to this school and so did my Dad. I believe Mr Powley taught him too.

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 Metheringham & Lincolnshire books
The church of St Wilfred is another of the hundreds of Lincolnshire limestone churches, and it has not changed in almost fifty years. The church was damaged by fire in 1599 and restored in 1601. Notice the small lancet window – it is the only one. The trees are still there, but are now much taller.

This is a well-kept Garden of Remembrance in the centre of this large village; next door is the County Library. There were five wreaths around the plinth on the day I visited, including one from the Parish Council. The statue is clean, and the soldier’s cap has a Lincolnshire Regiment cap badge carved on it. On the plinth are the names of 42 men from the village who died during the First World War and 8 from the Second.

Roughly east of Navenby, where the limestone descends to the flat east of the county, Metheringham is a large village with a mix of stone and brick older houses interspersed with Victorian and later development. In this view the Beehive shop and the dormered cottage beyond survive, but the buildings beyond have been rebuilt for Townsends and the Post Office.
