Nicholas Leache, rector of Belchford in 1536, was one of the ringleaders in the Lincolnshire Rising in which 3,000 people marched through the county to protest against closure of the monasteries by Henry VIII. After the Rising had been quashed Nicholas Leache along with others was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn for treason.

Fulletby is set high in the Wolds, and was mentioned in the Domesday book. The Grade II listed church of St Andrew, constructed of local greenstone, is essentially modern, with only a 14th century two seater sedilia left from an earlier church.
There has been a chapel on this site since 1835.
Situated at the highest point within the village, enables you to get the most fantastic views of the Lincolnshire Wolds, the Viking Way and the rolling countryside. The church contains unusual and ancient Poppy Head pew ends, which are thought to be of monastic origins.
