At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Over the past year we have focused much of our effort on assessing listed Places of Worship; visiting those considered to be in poor or very bad condition as a result of local reports.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Summary The Lincolnshire Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) established a policy of ‘hold the existing defence line’ for the Lincshore coastline. As part of the Lincshore Coastal Defences Strategy (covering Donna Nook to Skegness) we are proposing to implement the SMP. To deliver the strategy, beach nourishment material will continue to be placed annually along the coastline between Mablethorpe and Ingoldmells. A performance review of the beach nourishment project has been undertaken, in preference to a full strategy review, which supports the Lincshore project, enabling a 0.5% annual probability of flooding (1 in 200 year return period) standard of protection along the frontage over a period of 100 years.

  • From Hedhelinge to Healing
    From Heghelinge to Healing Healing Manor A Village History Edited by John Appleby From Hegh to Healing A Village History E d ite d b y John Appleby Introduction Healing is situated to the north of Grimsby between the Lincolnshire Wolds and the River Humber. The medieval core of the village, the church and the Manor House, are situated on a mound now surrounded by fields and apparently isolated from the twentieth century settlement some 800 metres to the south east. The population of the village, before this century, hovered around one hundred, and indeed during this period may well have declined from its Domesday Estimate of 126 people. It was sometimes omitted from the 18th and 19th century maps of Lincolnshire. The various springs which emanate from the edge of the above mentioned clay mound afford the only item of interest for most descriptions of the village. “Healing Wells” are associated with folklore and, some have written, with the place name of the village. Today, most county guide books, and indeed local estate agents, would describe the village of Healing, as a dormitory village, housing a transient population, the majority of whom are employed in Grimsby or by the factories situated on the Humber Bank. It was therefore with some trepidation that a group of inhabitants of Healing undertook the task of writing a village history. Local historians warned that a closed village such as Healing may not be well documented, and that we should be prepared for disappointments. Thus forewarned “The History of Healing” group was formed in January 1989 at the home of Dr.
