The Ramblers Church is so named because walkers are among the most frequent visitors to this isolated spot on the western edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The Wolds are low rolling chalk downlands, only just breaking the 500' contour, but still the highest part of the County, and to the East there is nothing higher until you reach the Ural Mountains in central Russia. It is quite a windswept spot!
The present village of Walesby lies at the foot of the escarpment to the West, but there are still remnants of the old mediaeval village in the fields around the church. Indeed, there are also Roman remains in the area. These photos were taken on a beautiful January afternoon of golden light. Use the slideshow feature to explore the area around the church, and linger to enjoy the sunset and views to distant Lincoln Cathedral on the horizon, can you spot it?
