IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Chapel Lane, SLEAFORD, NG34 0SL

This poster promulgates the homeowner's views about the current pandemic. The web site link goes to a local religious page which proposes various controversial views about the nature of the pandemic, and makes unusual claims about vaccines. For context, see Image

A fine building, with interesting period details - the lack of eaves or soffits, and the lead detail over the dormers. The bracketed porch and the use of concrete pantiles. This is, incidentally, the house outside which I saw Image

The rear entrance to what was once the "Whipping Post" Coaching Inn, now the Chocolate shop (Image)

A very impressive building, in a large plot of land. This is, incidentally the building outside which I spotted Image

Poster similar to those in Image expressing concern about the views of people opposed to vaccination. One expects this sort of dispute in social media, but it is unusual in a quiet backstreet in a Lincolnshire village.

I was initially puzzled by seeing posters on a wheelybin, but having looked around the context became clear, this is part of a disagreement among neighbours.

These are the only remaining cottages in Chapel Square

The Quaintways tea shoppe and adjacent buildings in Folkingham. The Tea Shop is the smaller building with the Bow-fronted window.

This highly regarded teashop, at time of the photograph, had a notice in the window that said it was closed until further notice and as can be seen is up for sale. Quaintways website is also down. Formerly a house and shop it is 18th century Grade II Listed, retaining the 18th century shop front. I don't know if it was built by him but it was formerly the premises of Josiah Stredder (1731-1819) and his son Josiah (1756-1827) who were bakers here from 1759 until about 1820. It next became the home for over a century of the blacksmith with the fitting surname Hammer, Ishmael (d.1855); his sons Jeremiah (d.1888), Frederick (d.1909) and William (d.1926), who made the churchyard gates in 1897. Quaintways proprietors, Irene and John Batt, came in 1983.
