The second volume in what will be a complete biographical record of
all parish priests in Lincolnshire. The parish churches of
Lincolnshire are justly celebrated. The spires of Grantham and
Louth, and the famous Boston Stump, provide a focal point from the
surrounding landscape of fen, wold and marsh. The charms of remote
country churches along the byways of the county have been extolled
in prose and verse by writers such as Henry Thorold and Sir John
Betjeman. Their architecture, their stained glass and sculpture,
furniture and fabric, have all been carefully recorded. Yet little
is known of the people who served these churches, the rectors and
vicars who, in word and sacrament, taught the Christian faith to
successive generations of parishioners. This volume forms the
second part of a much-needed survey of Lincolnshire parish clergy.
It covers the deaneries of Beltisloe, comprising twenty-one
parishes clustered around Colsterworth and Corby, and of
Bolingbroke, with twenty-five parishes centred on Spilsby. Starting
from 1214, when Bishop Hugh of Wells introduced the earliest system
of episcopal registration in Western Europe, the parish lists set
out the succession of rectors or vicars for each church. Brief
biographical sketches demonstrate the rich variety of the county's
parsons - pastors, scholars, athletes, travellers and writers,
soldiers and schoolmasters. This register gives to each of them his
place in the history of Lincolnshire. DrNicholas Bennett is
Visiting Senior Fellow of the University of Lincoln.
