Not often you see something about Lincoln on here! The building is absolutely stunning and its my favorite thing about living in the city

      Maybe we could be the Silicon Valley of the East Midlands.

  I've visited Lincolnshire a few times and I found it a really beautiful and underrated region. Vast countryside, lovely towns.

  I feel an urge to link to my own Lincolnshire town's church, too, because it has the third highest spire in England. A significant feat for such a small town's church: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_James%27_Church,_Louth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_James%27_Church,_Louth There is, of course, the "stump" at Boston too which inspired one of Yale's towers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Botolph%27s_Church,_Boston https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Botolph%27s_Church,_Boston

    I’m from Grimsby and I stumbled upon your newsletters a few years ago when learning to code and was shocked when I noticed that they were made by someone in Louth! And now I’ve stumbled upon the man behind the emails on HN!

    St Wulfram's in Grantham (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Wulfram%27s_Church,_Grantham https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Wulfram%27s_Church,_Grantha...) is just a little shorter than St James, and still has its original chained library (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Trigge_Chained_Library https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Trigge_Chained_Library), which has been claimed to be the oldest public library in the UK!

    This is a wonderful, wonderful book, and the Louth church is of course in it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fifty-English-Steeples-Medieval-England/dp/0500343144 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fifty-English-Steeples-Medieval-Eng...
