Exhibition: Echoes of the Fitties

Comments Off on Exhibition: Echoes of the Fitties

An exploration of place, memory, and transformation, this exhibition gathers fragments of the Humberston Fitties – its chalets, its histories, its lingering emotions – into a single, collective artwork.

Through a dynamic interplay of digital and analogue photography, archival images, and new interpretations, this artwork unfolds in segments, each piece a reflection of time’s imprint on the landscape.

Like the Fitties itself – ever shifting yet deeply rooted – this exhibition is a conversation between past and present, between materials and memories, between those who have called this place home. A study in continuity and change, it invites viewers to immerse themselves in the patchwork of history, where each piece carries the essence of place and the stories it holds.

Echoes of the Fitties is an exhibition in chalet 196, 7th Avenue, which will be open from 10am to 4pm on Sunday 14th and Sunday 21st September.

St. Nicolas Church Tours

Comments Off on St. Nicolas Church Tours

Architecture and design abound in this elegant Grade 1 Listed mediaeval church, surrounded by a graveyard managed for nature and famed for its display of Spring flowers.

The elegant fifteenth-century tower of the church of St. Nicolas’ Great Coates is one of the most imposing in this part of Lincolnshire. Due to its prominence, the Ordnance Survey used it as one of its triangulation points and inscribed a waymark at its base. Today the tower hosts the vestry, bells, ringing room, organ, clock mechanism and medieval graffiti. Views from the top are stunning.

The oldest part of the church is the Nave with its fine clustered pillars and round Norman arches. It was built in the very latest Norman style and dates from around 1200 A.D. Whereas, the aisles and chancel are mainly fourteenth century. There is a piscina (a stone basin used for washing communion vessels) in the south aisle as well as in the chancel, showing that there was once a second altar and chantry chapel in the south aisle.

The Church has two very lovely old brasses in memory of the Barnardistons. One, on the chancel step, dates from 1420 and portrays Isabella, wife of Roger Barnardiston. St Nicolas appears in the East Window which depicts Our Lord in glory, and His Mother, holding a galleon and anchor in his pastoral staff.
The imposing brass eagle lectern is a memorial to those who died in the First World War and gravestones from both the world wars can be found in the churchyard.

A guided/self-guided tour of the church, tower and graveyard will be available.
