TORKSEY: West Lindsey Parish #7 of 128

West Lindsey is a fascinating place. From the South to the North there are so many things to tell you about this journey around the 128 parishes it contains within it has barely begun, yet this one feels like we are already into one of the biggest and most interesting of the lot. Truth be known though, this is only a village with a population of 875, so it can't be that good, can it? Wrong. So very, very wrong. In our last West Lindsey video, we saw Torksey Lock, and if that had have been over the border and into today's parish, this video would have surpassed twenty minutes - a rare feat for such a small settlement. Only a few centuries ago, this was not a small settlement - it had a population of over 3,000 people, and was the third largest settlement in Lincolnshire. It even had town status. You would not know it now, to look at it though. That's why TVI digs deep into this stuff so you don't have to. The place was a Roman stronghold, a Viking camp, and most importantly in recent times, a place where the River Trent was both navigable by boat and where the river could be crossed by a railway line. The viaduct that crosses the Trent is indeed a unique structure. It is the first known box girder bridge, and even though the line is now disused, the bridge holds the distinction of being the only place you can cross from West Lindsey to Bassetlaw, exclusively on foot. The biggest piece of history this village holds though, is something not everyone can get access to - that would be the private land that is the home of the 16th century Elizabethan manor house (or the ruins of at least). known as the Castle, even though it never was one. There's lots you can access though, including the amazing village green with its peaceful pond, the very interesting St Peters church, and not to mention the viaduct with its river crossing and stunning all around views. Only seven parishes into West Lindsey you say? Lovely. There's loads more to come then. This is the parish of TORKSEY. **** My name is Andy.
