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.

Royal Air Force
Basic training days over, my first posting "Scampton" with 230 OCU. I remember having fire duty sitting beside the control tower as fighter pilots converted to bomber, the exercise being circuits and bumps with the Lincoln bomber, some of the bumps were were heavy, good job the aircraft was well built. I am proud to have served, it was a wonderful experience.

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.

Extracts From Middle Rasen & Lincolnshire books
The church of St Peter, in North Street, has a superb Norman doorway, possibly the best in the county (so the experts say), and the church has further Norman architecture inside. The thatched cottages are no more; the nearest has been replaced by a no doubt very functional large brick house.
An extract from from"Lincolnshire Living Memories".
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.

Waddington is now noted more for its large Royal Air Force station to
the east of the village, but it grew up on a diversion of Ermine Street
to the western scarp of the limestone ridge. Consequently much of the
village is built of the local oolitic limestone, which gives it a coherent
character. This view looks north along the High Street.

Doddington receives many visitors, for Doddington Hall, although privately
owned, is often open to the public. Immediately north-east of the Hall is St
Peter’s Church, almost entirely rebuilt in the 1770s by Thomas Lumby in
partly scholarly Gothic, although a cheery Strawberry Hill Gothick breaks out
here and there, particularly in the west tower.
