St Peter's church, Markby

Historic England Link

suggests this was built in the mid sixteenth century, others suggest early in the seventeenth century. Either way much of the masonry certainly comes from the demolished Markby Priory. A jackdaw seems to have taken advantage of the ledge provided by the window in the roof for some nest building.

St.Peter's church, Markby, Lincs.

The only thatched church in Lincolnshire. St.Peter's is a small medieval church much changed over the last 600 years, incorporating bits of stone from Markby Priory, founded in the 12th century.

Clumpy Soil

It is not clear how this effect has been achieved but I suspect a combination of very dry weather followed by rain.

Big Asbestos Barn

Asbestos the building material of the future, at least it was until the effects it had on the human body were discovered. This example is part of Willow Farm in Asserby.

Road Under Mud

This is a public road and not a farm track. The road joins Asserby with Asserby Turn.

Wolds Foothills

This slightly rolling landscape is the first ripple in the flat former marshland before the climb up to the Lincolnshire Wolds.

Extended Windmill

The red brickwork on the top of this former mill is an extension that was required to raise the sails after they were replaced with the newly invented patent sails. Before patent sails were installed the sails had to be nearer the ground to allow canvas to be fitted to them. The low sweeping sails often resulted in the death of forgetful millers.
