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 Wragby & Lincolnshire books
The parish church lies east of the Almshouses, which can be seen beyond the chancel. Built in yellow brick in 1839 in what is known as ‘Commissioners Gothic’, the present All Saints’ was relocated by Sir Edmund Turnor to this site, a quarter of a mile away from the site of the medieval church, the chancel of which only disappeared in 1980.

East of Lincoln, Wragby is a market town on the Horncastle and Skegness road which is very busy at weekends and in summer. It received a market charter from Charles II, and at its centre is a big triangular Market Place. The garage has now been replaced by public toilets. In the distance are the Almshouses, founded by Sir Edmund Turnor in the 17th century but rebuilt in 1840.

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.
