Arthur Pink from Nottingham went to Colorado to pastor a Congregational church at Silverton (pic). His pastoral ministry was problematic, he suffered from mental issues, and he isolated himself on the Isle of Lewis where he published Bible notes - that became hugely influential!

We believe that William Bradford's home at #Austerfield Manor now has a buyer - let's hope they are interested in history!

This may seem a typical memorial at @lincscathedral. In fact Rev Hett was a rather aggressive abuser of the #Methodists and a wealthy pluralist. But don't worry, I won't start #Hettmustfall......

We love Fledborough viaduct. Built as part of a grand plan for a national East-West railway, that only ever went about thirty miles!

Always good to find a new local connection between #Alford Lincs and the Americas...not many people know this one. Local curate moved to the cold NW for forty years!

Very excited to be doing this today in Scunthorpe! Lunchtime Lecture: The Black Prince of Scunthorpe - North Lincolnshire Museum

In Boston this morning to take part in opening discussions for the #Boston 400th anniversary...in case you are wondering, that's the 'junior' Boston over in a place called the USA.

Very excited to be involved in early discussions for the #Boston2030 commemoration - which will be big on both sides of 'the pond'.

A good time yesterday speaking to a packed house at #Willoughby about Dangerous Women of Lincolnshire. The home village of the famous Captain John Smith.

Charles II purposefully engineered the execution of Sir Henry Vane of Belleau #Lincolnshire. He was a former governor of #Massachusetts. Unlike others who died, he was not a regicide.

What happened to #Scrooby's stocks? Sometime in the late 1800s they were told to Americans and shipped across the Atlantic...but where did they go after that?

The new memorial at Sturton-le-Steeple has now been installed for the names of four VERY significant local people. We don't believe there is any other village that can boast four such sons/daughters.

Fascinating and surprising church at #Baumber #Lincolnshire. Have you visited yet?

OUR FIRST WALK OF THE NEW YEAR: EAKRING Our first walk for 2025 - around the wonderful village of Eakring. Book using the mail and phone on the poster. For regulars note these are different to usual as Maggy is unwell. Phone is: 07383 488201 to book with Candice.

My epic story of Christian faith in #Nottinghamshire and #Lincolnshire is now available for the first time in the USA in Kindle/e-book and also in hardback from Amazon. Read the true origins of the #Pilgrims.

Nice picture of Scrooby Manor stables in about 1897. Maybe the famous William Brewster kept his horse here...though no indication of the date of this building.

Extra date for our fantastic walk to mark the opening of the new memorial at Sturton le Steeple.

Join us for our two walks around Clarborough and its sinister tunnel!

My book on changing life in Lincolnshire - 'Hard Times, Happy Days' - is now available via Amazon as an e-book and on Kindle, and we are also still selling it in paperback.

New book out soon! Very exciting.
