All Saints' church, Maltby le Marsh, Lincs. A splendid medieval church in a very sorry state of disrepair ! A wide nave c1300 with classic Y tracery windows, a short chancel and Perpendicular tower. Now redundant, without its fittings and permanently closed due to safety issues. A shameless fate for a wonderful church.

St.Andrew's church, Beesby, Lincs. A curious marriage of vibrant red brick and stone. The chancel looks 13th century but much restored, but the 1841 rebuilding of the nave uses brick on the south side and stone on the north.

Perimeter Bridleway This bridleway leading to Manor Farm follows the old perimeter road of the former RAF Strubby airfield. This bridleway was probably created around the airfield since the siting of the runways removed a road which linked the same two points as the bridleway.

Old Mill House B&B - showing the property from the A1104 Old Mill House takes its name from the flour mill and the milling business that were the origins of our buildings. Although long since disused and even with the sails removed, the Grade II Listed mill tower still dominates the property. The Maltby le Marsh Mill was built by Saundersons of Louth in 1841. It was worked by wind until 1952 and then by engine for a few more years. Like many mills in Lincolnshire its ironware was removed for scrap at the end of its working life. The sails and ogee cap were removed at the same time. The mill stones were taken out in 1978 for use in other mills. All that remains now of the mill's machinery is a large, wooden, drive shaft. Originally four patent sails drove three pairs of French stones. A pair of early stones can still be seen on the site. A replica cap was fitted in the 1980s as a means of weather proofing the tower. In recent years some of the buildings have been renovated and the property supports a small Bed & Breakfast business.
