Eugene,
thanks for the kind words and welcome to the site.
A large part of what goes on here on the site is to be able to bring parts of Lincolnshire to people who otherwise can’t or will never be able to see them - hopefully in a small way it works from time to time.
Regards
Rod

Hi Rod
I came to this site after a friend sent me a photo of the church in winter. Your pictures are quite lovely. I reside thousands of miles away but maybe I’ll see the church one day.

Rod, I fondly remember going to Sunday School in the Church at Tealby in the early 60s. Miss Fitch, the daughter of the incumbent vicar who was in his 80s took the school which was in a tiny little square of pews on the right hand side of the church on the same side as the door.
I was at school in the village, and also remember the night the new owners burned down Bayon’s Manor. My father was the local road engineer and we went off towards Bully Hill, up Heron’s Hill (good for sledging in the winter of 62 / 63) and the sky was lit up by it. We were not allowed to go into it becaquse it was of course dangerous. I do still have a quarry tile I took from the floor of the kitchen.
It was an idyllic place to grow up. Us kids wandered all over the whole area, we knew it like the back of our hands. I bet I could still find my way around the fields blindfold.
All the best Rod,
Ian Lees

rod a few facts about the church and area.

as rod mentioned the main body of the church was restored in 1872 by a Mr James Fowler of Louth at the expense of Admiral Edwin Clayton Tennyson.
the knights templars had an important house at tealby on the land behind the present day old barn inn still being known as temple garth.

if you go to the Old barn inn please say hello to Roy Chubby Brown for me I spent an excellent two weeks with him about five years ago in Turkey he was in the next room to me with his family A Great Guy…..

Regards
Chris
