Horncastle, Lincolnshire

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The Romans had a fort here which they called Banovallum. The parish church contains a brass memorial to the King's Champion of 1519. This was a hereditary post held by the Dymoke family, who had the right to ride fully armed to the coronation of a monarch and challenge anyone to contest the new monarch's right to the throne. Also in the church are a collection of scythes used as weapons at the battle of Winceby in 1643.
