Tales From Revesby

Revesby is one of Lincolnshire’s most fascinating villages with a history an ancient monastery, the famed explorer and scientist Sir Joseph Banks, a Victorian mansion and a delightful village set around a green.

But Adrian Gray has dug beyond the obvious to bring us a fascinating array of incidents and personalities that help to bring the true character of the village to life. Here you will meet the famous members of the Banks and Stanhope families, but also the village blacksmith, the doctor, several war heroes and the indefatigable landlord of the ‘Red Lion’.

Delve also into important aspects of village life like the lively (and sometimes drunken)village fairs, the famous Revesby Play, the draining of the Fen, the life of the school, and an infamous double murder!
