ST MARTIN, STUBTON
The village, according to the Lincolnshire Domesday Survey of 1086, was originally spelled Stubetune. No definitive explanation has been given for this spelling.
In the village there is a church and a churchyard, both in use. Just outside the churchyard alongside the suggested parking area, there is an unusual monument in the form of a broken column dedicated to Sir Robert Heron (died 1855) who built and lived at Stubton Hall.
Heron was a Member of Parliament and a rather outspoken one when he attended. His history is worthy of further exploration should you be so inclined.
