Welcome to Minting and Gautby (still being built!)
Our landscape is very agricultural with several flocks of sheep, beef cattle, rare Lop Pigs, some poultry units and arable crops.
We are surrounded by protected woodlands, becks and dykes, enjoy wide, open skies
and a climate which is drier than most of the UK -
One of the main purposes of this web site will be to enable access to our villages’ archive which was created during the Parish Council Heritage Project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, and which was completed on July 3rd, 2010. Our village book is also on sale from here.
So, please come back from time to time and see how we are doing!
We are one Parish Council comprising two neighbouring villages. Located in ‘big sky’ Lincolnshire in the UK, 7 miles from Horncastle to the east, 13 miles from Lincoln to the west, our closest village with facilities such as a Post office and shops is Bardney, some 5 miles away.
