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.

Red Lion pub/High Street life
My grandparents lived in Brant Broughton in the cottage next to the "Old Red Lion". I remember the farrier shoeing the horses, the cows going home to be milked at the dairy and then watching them being milked. Water came from the pump in the communal yard, the toilet was a wooden hut in the allotment with 2 holes - one for adults and a lower one for children. Not surprisingly, my grandmother was relocated to a new bungalow but when I went on a recent visit to Brant Broughton with my husband and children it looked as if it was in a time warp - it hadn't changed!

Extracts From Wellingore & Lincolnshire books
The central part of this prominent building was built in c1750, and the two outer bays were added in the early 19th century. The chapel was added in 1878 and rebuilt after a fire in 1885. It is now all offices, and the Roman Catholic chapel has been deconsecrated. The biggest tenant is now the St John’s Ambulance. There are fine views from the building over the Trent and Witham valley.

All Saints’ Church stands proudly at the top of a sharp double bend and hill on the A607 road going towards Lincoln from Grantham. It is another of the village churches built of the limestone from the ridge that acts as a spine all the way through Lincolnshire from Stamford up to the river Humber.

The village lost its medieval church to bombs in World War II and has
expanded much since the War, partly due to Lincoln’s proximity and partly
to the RAF. In this view we look past the Horse and Jockey pub towards the
south of the village; the church is beyond the high tree on the left.
