Publisher's Synopsis
Lincolnshire conjures up images of Fenland, windmills, and vast seas of crops and flowers, along with rolling Wolds, pretty towns and villages, and the gloriously medieval city of Lincoln. However, lurking not far beneath the surface is a host of oddities and peculiarities that turn the apparently staid and conventional into something much more intriguing. Therefore even the Conventional Lincolnshire section is interspersed with the book's idiosyncratic 'quirk alerts'; like anecdotes about which Lincolnshire town was the capital of England in the early 11th century, and which village has been home to the King's Champion since 1066. Alternatively, you'll need a strong stomach to read of the Hideous Happening in Holbeach, while you'll be amazed at the Lincolnshire horse that walked 120 miles to Aintree, promptly won the Grand National and then walked home again!
