Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
August 28, 2025, St James' Church, Louth

This church in Louth, a place of prayer for many centuries and dedicated to St. James as its patron saint, is closely intertwined with a very specific moment in English history that took place almost five centuries ago. In British history, this moment in October 1536 is known as the "Lincolnshire Rising." This uprising was a protest against King Henry VIII, particularly his actions following his separation from his wife, which led to the English Church splitting from the Roman Catholic Church.

Entitled searching, this bronze and steel sculpture was produced as the result of a collaboration between sculptor Lawrence Edwards and book artist Les Bicknell. In all, three sculpted figures were created who are seen discovering, contemplating and understanding the Meridian Line which is represented by a steel ribbon engraved with text by local people, that appears and disappears as it traces the path of the Line through and around the town.

Narrow and enclosed by deep undergrowth, these are good MTB tracks to ride through. The surfaces can be wet and mud will accumulate, but it was ok on the day I passed through in September 2024

The "invention" of the prime meridian - or more precisely, the scientifically based division of the globe into longitude and latitude, with the prime meridian running through this point as the central orientation line - in the second half of the 19th century was an epochal masterpiece in the field of cartography and navigation, at that time of particular importance for seafaring. Even today, in the age of modern GPS navigation based on satellites orbiting the earth, coordinates based on this principle are still used to determine locations.
