About Fulletby

On approach to this attractive village the first thing you notice is the imaginative village sign which perfectly depicts all that this wonderful area is about. Farming has played an important part in the history of these lands since our forefathers toiled to make the once waterlogged landscape fertile.

The village was the birthplace of Henry Winn, writer and poet. Winn was the son of the local shoemaker, he grew up in the village, was educated here, and later he married a local girl. Out of the 21 children the union produced, only four survived. Winn became the school master in 1850, a post he held until 1880 when he retired to concentrate on recording local history. He did this until he died some 34 years later at the age of 98.
