![]() Ancaster, LincolnshireTravel Information and nearby accommodation
The village of Ancaster sits astride the old Roman road of Ermine Street. it is most famous for a horde of Roman coins found here in the ruins of a Roman camp. The coins and other finds from excavations are in the Grantham museum. Ancaster's name will forever be associated with the oolitic limestone quarried here for centuries. Ancaster stone was noted for the fact that it hardened immediately after quarrying, making it suitable for both building and artistic carving.
