More about this scene

North from the Market Place, the High Street curves away past The Woolpack, now rendered and roughcast. Wainfleet is famous as the birthplace of William of Wayneflete, later Bishop of Winchester and founder of Winchester College school and Magdalen College, Oxford. Just off Market Place is the Wainfleet School of 1484, now the public library, another of Lincolnshire's medieval brick buildings, a long first floor hall with giant polygonal towers flanking the west front.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I have memories of me and the now-landlord getting banned from this pub and I lost me bike!
This isn't a memory, but I would like to hear about other people's memories as to the Woolpack at Wainfleet. I have been the landlady of this hotel for the last 7 months and would like to know some history about the premises prior to the 1950s - can anyone help?
