The Geograph British Isles project aims to collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometre of the UK. This is a voluntary project which aims to create a pictorial archive of the UK.

The area around Metheringham has largely been completed. You can start your exploration at grid square TF0661

Ken has also taken many more beautiful images around our area. See his profile on Geograph for details.

There are a further 600 plus images, all taken within a 10km radius of TF0661. In addition to Ken, other photographers include Ian Carrington, Les Carruthers, Richard Croft and Ian Paterson.

With some beautiful images, this is an excellent collection, well worth a visit.

Remembrance Day is next week. This page at roll of honour.com gives details of Metheringham's war dead from both World War 1 & 2.

A timely reminder.
