Wide Angle Wednesday - Lincolnshire Wolds

The view from the start of the Lincolnshire Wolds across to Scunthorpe.

We are living with T's parents in Elsham whilst we are waiting to leave for Australia and made a trip to the top of the village to take the shot.

Elsham is the home of the Pipers Crisps and the village is the birthplace of the agricultural engineer Richard Hornsby, astronomer Wallace L. W. Sargent, and George Green, a recipient of the Medal of Honor in the American Civil War.

At Elsham there was an Augustinian priory; it was dissolved during the 1536 Suppression. Elsham Grade II* listed Anglican church, dedicated to All Saints, is of 12th century Early English origin. It was restored in 1874.

Royal Air Force Station Elsham Wolds or more simply RAF Elsham Wolds is a former Royal Air Force station in England, which operated in the First World War and the Second World War. It is located just to the north east of the village of Elsham in north Lincolnshire.
