Lincolnian (brian)'s Pictures of Old Leake

A picture of Old Leake

The village of Old Leake is about 8 miles from Boston on the Skegness to Boston road which now cuts round the village. Just off the main road and opposite St Mary's church is the White Hart, a Bateman's pub. This local brewery is well represented in Lincolnshire and an interesting feature is the general lack of pictorial signs most pubs bearing an identical sign to the one seen on the White Hart (apart from the name).

The Anglican parish church at Old Leake, Lincolnshire, is dedicated to St. Mary. This magnificent church, the tower of which was being rebuilt in 1589 but wasn't finished until 1647, is thought to be of Norman origin as Old Leake, referred to as 'Leak' in the Domesday Survey; had no mention of a church in 1086. However, it must have been a rather prosperous settlement as the Domesday Survey does list forty-one salt-houses, 32 freemen, 40 villagers, and 16 smallholders in Leake.
