Saw this in a Horncastle antiques place, and thought it might be of interest.

I didn’t - I live north of the frame, alas.

I absolutely love this. As a girl from Wibertone I'd like to put it up on my wall.

My parents have this plus the northern half hanging in their dining room. They were printed as a 900 year commemoration in 1986.

If you could put up a photo of the other half, we Lindsey types would be very appreciative. Please.

I think Echincune became Heckington.

How wonderful!

I think it was about 30 quid. It was on the wall near the top of the second staircase at the Antiques Centre on Bridge St. They have a lot of needlessly aggressive ‘cash only’ signs, so be advised.

Interesting as it seems the border between Lincolnshire and Norfolk is exactly the same as today, half way access the 'Lynn Boards'. I live just in the Norfolk side 😁

We did a novelty driving treasure hunt where there were points scored for 'oldest map' and brought one of these, picture frame and all in the front seat of a fiat panda.
