England’s Heritage in Photos: Edenham Church, Lincolnshire – Wonderful Tombs

The village of Edenham in south west Lincolnshire has a beautiful church dedicated to Saint Michael and All Angels.

My grandfather was born and brought up in a nearby hamlet.

Within the grounds are some wonderful tombs of local aristocratic families.
