News
Look out for our exhibition in the Heritage Room of the Town Hall. The theme is '60 Years a Queen' and commemorates the Diamond Jubilees of both Queen Victoria and our current Queen.
This is particularly exciting for the Town Hall as the Foundation Stone was laid on 16th June 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Jubilee and it was re-opened in 2011, after major refurbishment, by the Earl of Wessex (Prince Edward), her great-great-great grandson so the royal connection lives on!

Come and join us in 2012 - all the information is on our events page and you can become a Member by going to the shop and filling in the form.

About us
The Kirton-in-Lindsey Society was formed in 1987, is a registered charity and a member of Civic Voice - the national body for Civic Societies. The aims of our Society are to advance the knowledge of the people in our area by the study and recording of local history, archaeology, industrial archaeology, topography, architecture, family history, dialect and local customs.
We try to achieve this by:- Holding public meetings and lectures, arranging tours, organising courses and conferences, publishing (or assisting in publishing) various guides, pamphlets and books about our local area.
- Joining with other like-minded organisations in larger schemes.
- Exploring and recording sites of archaeological and historical interest in conjunction with professionals.
- Helping to safeguard such sites and any other material against destruction or dispersal, and encourage its availability for study.
- Securing the preservation, protection, development and improvement of features of historic, natural or public interest in the area.
Our current membership stands at nearly 80, non-members are welcome to both regular meetings and special events.
