This church in Louth, a place of prayer for many centuries and dedicated to St. James as its patron saint, is closely intertwined with a very specific moment in English history that took place almost five centuries ago. In British history, this moment in October 1536 is known as the "Lincolnshire Rising." This uprising was a protest against King Henry VIII, particularly his actions following his separation from his wife, which led to the English Church splitting from the Roman Catholic Church.

James the Elder (the Latin 'Major' is not translated as 'great' in English), to whom this church in Louth was dedicated, belongs together with his brother to the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the Evangelist Mark lists the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James - to whom he gave the surname Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). They are said to have been very temperamental, but were loyal followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith. His grave in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia (Spain) is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

Heron Lake is a refreshing oasis situated within the tiny hamlet of South Elkington near Louth. The lake is a popular spot amongst anglers, who are hoping to catch their next meal, and not so popular amongst walkers, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet on your leisurely stroll.

This spot marks the the historic prime meridian or Greenwich meridian, a geographical reference line, globally separating the east from the west the same way the equator separates the north from the south.

In 1884 zero degrees longitude was established as the Greenwich Meridian and the world's prime meridian for measuring longitude. The Greenwich Meridian line runs through Cleethorpes as it travels round the globe from north to south, and a metal plate has been set into the coastal path to mark the exact location. Usefully it also marks the distance between the Meridian and various places around the world. Keep going directly North from here, you only have 2,517 miles to get to the North Pole.
