In 1598, Frances Trigge donated the princely sum of £100 to St Wulfram’s Church in Grantham. On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to explore the astonishing Frances Trigge Chained Library, the oldest public library in England. It’s well worth a visit. #LincsConnect #History

St.Mary the Virgin in Bottesford is one of the biggest village churches in England. It’s famous for its many noble tombs (8 earls, 2 by Grinling Gibbons!) but it’s the original Saxon font that excites me. #Nottinghamshire #History
