About Gosberton

This old village sits inland from the Wash just above the point where the River Welland enters into the open sea. The village was first mentioned in the Domesday Book and has a beautiful church dating from Norman times. The lofty, and beautifully adorned spire, dominates the landscape beneath. All around the exterior of the church gargoyles peer out at you, amongst which is the very serious green man, whose origins are lost in the annuls of time. The interior of the church shows many reminders from an ancient past and of interest if an effigy of a 14th-century Knight in crosslegged repose.

Gosberton benefits from its fine position in lovely open countryside, it has many quaint and interesting houses and cottages and is surrounded by fertile farmland and meadows. Of interest close-by is the pleasant town of Pinchbeck, the delightful gardens of Springfields and the Spalding Tropical Forest.
