Lincolnshire is incredibly rich in medieval churches from Saxon times onwards many of them still little known. Lincoln Cathedral is justly famous & second only to Durham in the grandeur of its setting. The prosperous years from the Middle Ages though to the eighteenth century have left a splendid legacy in the great town churches of Boston & Louth in the innumerable village churches of the south of the county the delightful manor houses (such as Tennysons Somersby) & the Georgian town houses & coaching inns of Boston & Grantham of Lincoln & Louth & above all of Stamford. Monuments to industry include the vast maltings at Sleaford the soaring dock tower of Grimsby & an abundance of windmills.
