Tips from the Community

Walk The Walk 🌳
April 7, 2026, St Thomas of Canterbury Church, Frisby

Grade I listed church with 12th-century origins, featuring a prominent spire, long south transept, and a mix of Decorated and Perpendicular Gothic styles. The church, restored in 1848, was once known for a 18th-century "Gretna Green" scandal. The parish priest, William Brecknock Wragg, earned the church a reputation as the "Gretna Green of the South" (or Midlands) by performing marriages without regard to legal regulations, leading to the sequestration of parish rights by King George III.

Perched on a slight hill, Hoby All Saints church overlooks Wreake Valley. It includes a west tower with a 13th-century base and added spire, north and south aisles, nave, and chancel. Dating mainly to the 13th century, the church underwent Victorian restoration in the chancel. The tower holds five bells, including the Tenor bell, known as 'Great Tom.' Legend has it that in the late 17th century, two individuals found their way to safety guided by Great Tom's sound during fog.
