Starting in High Street Ropsley, Scott's 8-mile walk took 11 members past St Peter's Church and through woods and across arable fields to Great Humby, the former seat of the Brownlow family until they built and moved to Belton House. Ropsley was the birthplace of Bishop Richard Foxe (1448 1528) who founded Grantham Grammar School where Isaac Newton was a scholar. His birthplace is marked by a plaque on a former inn close to the Green Man.
Thanks John for the photos.
