Starting at The Green Man in Ropsley, Phil's walk attracted an impressive twenty one VBR members and took us across fields and through woods to Great Humby the former seat of the Brownlow family until they built and moved to Belton House near Grantham. Nearby Little Humby has old stone houses flanking a green and a Manor House dating back to 1631. Ropsley was the birthplace of Bishop Richard Foxe (1448 - 1528) who founded King's School, Grantham where Isaac Newton was a scholar. His birthplace is marked by a plaque on a former inn close to the Green Man.
