Grimsby - Grimsby Minster

23 May 2024 1 77
Grimsby is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having a population of around 200, a priest, a mill, and a ferry. Since its foundation, Grimsby Minster has been the parish church of the parish, which prospered from fishing. In 1114, an older church building was given to Robert Blouet, who was Lord Chancellor and Keeper of the Seals of England in 1092/93 and then became Bishop of Lincoln. He enlarged the building, but it was not until the 14th/15th century that it took on its present appearance with the addition of the crossing tower, two aisles and a new choir.

Louth - St James

23 May 2024 2 76
Louth is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as a town of 124 households St. James is a medieval building. It has the tallest steeple (87.63 m) of any medieval parish church in Britain. The chancel and nave were re-built between 1430 and 1440. The building of the tower probably commenced in the 1440s or 1450s and was completed to its present height by 1499. The church is mainly 15th century and is the third building on the site, replacing 11th- and 13th-century buildings. In October 1536, as a result of Henry VIII's ecclesiastical changes, people gathered in the church to start the Lincolnshire Rising, which was followed by the Pilgrimage of Grace. Neither succeeded and the church was stripped of its riches, including the rood screen, by the king's forces. In 1537 the Vicar of the church was hanged, drawn and quartered for his part in it

Burwell Priory, which once stood here, was a Benedictine monastery founded sometime before 1110 and belonged to the Abbey of Grande-Sauve in Aquitaine as a foreign priory.

Skegness - Clock Tower

23 May 2024 1 66
Skegness is an traditional English tourist resort, but as the package holiday abroad became an increasingly popular and affordable option for many British holiday-makers during the 1970, it has suffered. Nevertheless, the resort retains a loyal visitor base. Tourism increased following the recession of 2007–09 owing to the resort's affordability. In 2011, the town was England's fourth most popular holiday destination for UK residents, and in 2015 it received over 1.4 million visitors. The Jubilee Clock Tower was built in 1898 and is now a landmark in the town.
