More about this scene
This town on the old Great North Road was specifically created to trade on its location by the local landowner Idonea de Viponts as early as the 12th century, when the existing Roman road was diverted into this huge and attractive market place. Most of the buildings we see here date from the coaching days between 1780 and 1840. The Old House Hotel, left, later became Baines Private Hotel and Tea-rooms. The Town Hall of 1890 (right) became the Working Men's Club and Institute, and the Angel Inn closed in 1907. Cross Wines (near right) was originally the old Hospital of St Mary Magdalene. Bawtry Hall, now a religious centre, was the wartime HQ of No 1 Bomber Command.
