Cabourne High Woods, Nr Caistor, Lincs - Mature Broadleaved Woodland

The NW corner of grid square TA1303 contains part of Cabourne High Woods. These woods mainly contain mature broadleaved trees with very little undergrowth for much of the year, although bracken is common during the summer. The terrain is not flat, but rolls fairly gently. The picture shows the start of an orienteering event held in May 2004. This event was the final of a national club knock-out competition. The competitors found that the easily traversable terrain (widely space trees, little ground cover and gentle slopes) was extremely fast.

Meadow in Cabourne High Woods, Near Caistor, Lincolnshire

This large meadow, occupying the NE quarter of this grid square and a smaller, but significant portion of TA1305 (to the north) is completely surrounded by mixed woodland. The grass was allowed to grow long and was not grazed at the time of the photo. A number of bits of stranded farm machinery in the meadow (e.g. a mobile elevator) implied that haymaking was the prime agricultural use of this meadow. The view shows a runner, about to cross the finish line at the end of a 7 stage orienteering relay taking part over the weekend in the greater area of woodland.

Clixby - All Hallows

The chancel of the 13th-century church of All Hallows was badly in need of repair until it was restored in 1889 and a west porch was added. In the floor is a 14th-century slab with an incised cross and chalice and the remains of a Lombardic inscription to a priest. Latin inscriptions in praise of the Virgin adorn the wooden ceiling. The carved octagonal font and pews with poppy heads have been rescued from other redundant churches. The altar has a triptych which includes the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Christ.

The Fonaby Sack Stone

Hidden away in a hedge beside a farm track is this legendary stone. The story goes thus: St Paulinus was a missionary in the 7th century. One day he was riding his ass along the ancient trackway above Caistor. The ass was more obstinate than usual because it hadn't had any breakfast. St Paulinus saw a man up ahead who was sowing corn. Perhaps he would share some of the grain? He asked the man for some corn from the sack in the field. 'Oh that's not a sack,' replied the farmer. 'That's - a stone.' A stone, eh. 'Then stone it shall be' retorted St Paulinus. And so it was. For more information see Link
