Beechey Brothers' (and Mum's) window in Friesthorpe Church

The full quote is: "It was no sacrifice, Ma'am, I did not give them willingly." Amy Beechey lost 5 sons in WW1. The above was her reply when in April 1918 she was presented to King George V and honoured by the King and Queen for her immense sacrifice. Amy's husband, the Reverend Prince William Thomas Beechey had been Rector of Friesthorpe with Snarford, but when the Rector was taken ill with cancer, the family had to leave the Rectory and moved to live in a two-up, two-down terrace in Lincoln. See: Link

When this picture was taken, the window was new and yet to be consecrated.

This way for the bridleway across Newton Ings

For aerial view see TF0686 : A46 north of Faldingworth: aerial 2014. The two left sets of arrows, as well as marking the bend, point to the entrance to the bridleway. It would be difficult for a dachshund to pass through the thicket of blackthorne scrub, let alone a horse. But perhaps no rider is brave enough to dice with the endless streams of traffic on the A46 in order to reach this point. Now, what you need is a permissive bridleway the other side of the hedge, alongside the road...
