St Andrew

Ashby Puerorum, Ashby 'of the boys', is so called because in the late thirteenth century the living was appropriated to provide an endowment for the boy choristers of Lincoln Cathedral. Ashby is a remote hamlet and its medieval church of St Andrew is approached across a farmyard. The churchyard affords fabulous views across the Wolds.
