In the 1930s Arthur Mee wrote a series of guides to Britain called The King's England and whilst researching for this work he realised that there were very few communities that had not suffered military fatalities in the First World War. He coined the term ‘Thankful villages' to describe them. Minting is one such village.

This small medieval and Georgian church is almost on the spot that claims to be the centre of Lincolnshire. A 13th century cross base stands within the churchyard depicts this point.
A fine church built in 1870, designed by James Fowler of Louth. Built of local red brick with stone banding from the previous church on the same spot. St Stephen's church includes a beautiful rounded apse with stained glass windows at the east end.
Now you see it, now you don't! An unusual and fascinating church, effectively a medieval church encased in a Georgian red brick shell in 1758. St Swithins still holds many treasures inside its walls and the trouble taken to obtain the key and open the Norman west door is well worth the effort.
