Tuesday 24th July Understanding Sleaford Castle Doug Plowman
Sleaford Castle, built in the 12th century, is a well-known landmark in the town. Doug presented new, evidence supported, ideas of the origins and uses of Sleaford Castle to a packed house in a fascinating talk.
4th June 800 years of St Botolph’s Church, Quarrington Christopher Micklethwaite
In this talk, we all learned a lot more about the history of this beautiful local church in its important 800th anniversary year. It was timed to coincide with the anniversary celebrations organised by the Church.
Tuesday 22nd May Spies Among Us Simon Pawley
Simon told the fascinating and important story of Lord Hussey and the rebellion of 1536.
It was very interesting to note that Simon had discovered that this famous picture – said to be of William Hussey – actually is not!!

This talk focused on the development of Mareham Pastures in Sleaford as an award-winning environmental area.
