Well I live in a small village but our nearest town is Grantham, thats where we do our shopping etc.
The actual place we live in is called
Marston, which is actually in Lincolnshire, but we have a Nottinghamshire post code, which is generally confusing. Marston is very small, we have a primary school 4-11 with 76 pupils.
Our town is
Grantham really, so I'll do that. We aren't a big town, but we aren't a small town either, we have two note able people
Sir Isaac Newton and
Margaret Thatcher, we also have Beverly Allit a baby murderer, but we aren't terribly proud of her...
We are a typical English
market town, we for some reason also have a pub with a beehive for a
sign I believe it is the only living pub sign.
This, is the best pub in the world. A child in Grantham would recognise one of
these as something you plan on at the local park.
As far as memorable buildings etc we have
St Wulfram's, The
Angle and Royal where until recently the royal family would stay while taking leave to York. A
hospital, pretty hand if you decide to die,
Belton house and Belton Park. Harlaxton Manor, which weirdly is now partly an American college, Belvoir castle, which is quite modern, you pronounce Belvoir, Beever.
We had the first woman police officer in the UK, we have a really bad football team called the ginger breads as ginger bread was invented in the big G. The coastline of Lincolnshire has lots of
these fatties.
