The prosperous years from the Middle Ages though to the eighteenth century have left a splendid legacy in the great town churches of Boston and Louth, in the innumerable village churches of the south of the county, the delightful manor houses, such as Tennyson's Somersby, and the Georgian town houses and coaching inns of Boston and Grantham, of Lincoln and Louth, and above all of Stamford.

Bomber County: A History of the Royal Air Force in Lincolnshire The county of Lincolnshire, will forever be known as 'Bomber County' because of the many RAF Bomber Command bases dotted about its flat landscape. It is undoubtedly one of England's premier counties when it comes to military aviation. This rich history dates back to the days of the Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Flying Corps when rudimentary airfields were constructed during the First World War, through the RAF's night bombing offensive of the Second World War and on to the nuclear V-Force of the Cold War era. The 'bomber' tag relates only part of the county's aviation history. During the RAF's long association with Lincolnshire, there has also been a strong training element, which continues to this day; a front-line contribution to air defence of the UK.
