I was also thinking "well that definitely isn't a Norfolk church". Funny how only around the corner in the next county a style of church can be so different.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-50799231762286629952015-05-26T21:20:25.841-07:002015-05-26T21:20:25.841-07:00The church looks very well maintained; not always ...The church looks very well maintained; not always the case with so many of our local medieval churches. Strangely, whenever I have returned to the village of my birth (Lingfield in Surrey) I've always visited the church, it seems to be the one constant in an otherwise changing world.

I was born in Lincoln but spent much of my childhood overseas. We would come "home" on leave and always stayed at my grandparents house {which was where I was born in the front room!!} The back bedroom overlooked the Cathedral where we always went to look for the imp. I have wonderful memories of these times and later brought my own children for visits. Unfortunately my grand parents and my aunt and uncle, who lived with them in later years, have all passed and the house was sold many years ago. Last year I was in the UK and called into Lincoln for the first time in about 20 years. So many changes and yet still so much the same. Sadly the house in Longdales road had changed dramatically although no doubt for the better.<br />My mothers family are all based around Middlesborough, and I lived in Thornaby before moving to Australia so love to read of the beautiful Dales and villages you mention in your blog. I think I may be re-living my past happy times vicariously through your blog!! Thank you for keeping it so alive and rekindling so many memories.jan joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828336550985082218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-85915831756941906332015-05-26T15:06:54.037-07:002015-05-26T15:06:54.037-07:00To me the church doesnt look englishTo me the church doesnt look englishJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-55985764586141678362015-05-26T14:07:41.424-07:002015-05-26T14:07:41.424-07:00What a sense of history and place the site must co...What a sense of history and place the site must convey.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-36962089191731300162015-05-26T13:19:07.220-07:002015-05-26T13:19:07.220-07:00So lovely you were able to see the church - even i...So lovely you were able to see the church - even if only from the outside!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964291132366262298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-29567086816367220502015-05-26T13:14:04.990-07:002015-05-26T13:14:04.990-07:00Wonderful to have actually laid eyes on the Magna ...Wonderful to have actually laid eyes on the Magna Carta, and I was so pleased to hear of your visit to Lincoln Cathedral Pat, partly for the wonderful childhood memories it must hold for you and partly because we found it a most important place to visit both times we were in England. As you know Charles was seconded to the RAF and the Airmen's chapel at Lincoln and the memorial to Bomber Command meant a great deal to him and to the rest of his crew.Hildredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420791064923078834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-76343431706339989972015-05-26T13:03:51.066-07:002015-05-26T13:03:51.066-07:00Europe is amazing.
