Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A prosperous market town in north west Lincolnshire, Gainsborough is situated on the River Trent. The most prominent historic building is Gainsborough Old Hall, a manor house dating to medieval times, situated in the very centre of the town. Alfred the Great was married at Gainsborough in 868, and King Sweyn, father of Canute, died at nearby Thonock Park in 1014. The church of All Saints is a superb Georgian building in classical style. Novelist George Eliot used Gainsborough as her model for St Ogg's in her book 'The Mill on the Floss'.
