Minting and Gautby Heritage Society has now become Minting, Gautby & District Heritage Society. The successful conclusion of the Heritage Lottery funded project on July 3rd, 2010, completed two years of hard work and resulted in our Village Heritage Book – "Glimpses and Gleanings, from Minting & Gautby" as well as our Heritage Kiosk, Interpretation Plinth and Heritage Trail.  Described as ”first rate”, “absolutely stunning” and “ought to be a template for village history books” by the late David Robinson, Volume I, a 135-page, A4, full colour, hardback village book is exceptional. 

An amended and updated version can be ordered on demand for £35, excluding any postage.  Please email mintinggautbyheritagesociety@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing a copy.

The book was written and designed by volunteers, supported by the Parish Council, and published on July 3rd, 2010.  The Heritage Lottery Fund representative who attended our launch was delighted and hinted that further funding requests would be favourably considered as we have so clearly met our commitments and objectives.   Project Co-ordinator, Joanna Heselwood and John Laver (history buff) were both Parish Councillors and were relieved and delighted with the book’s reception.  It had been a massive endeavour and had involved so many people; telling stories, bringing in photographs, creating artwork, field-walking, sorting finds, cataloging, filing, etc. etc.  

Subsequently, with grant funding from the Lincolnshire Limewoods Project, the Heritage Society designed the Village Signs – one located near the church in Gautby and one opposite the Priory Field in Minting, close to the village centre.

We now have lots of material with which to create Volume 2.
