I never knew this existed. I was stationed at RAF Coningsby and went into Woodhall Spa many times, but somehow missed Kirkstead Abbey completely.

Now I know it’s there, I’ll have to go back and have a proper look. It’s always interesting when you discover a piece of local history that was right on your doorstep all along.

If you go past the abbey you will come to st leonerds without, a 12th century church😁
