| Summary |
"Highways and Byways in Lincolnshire" by W. F. Rawnsley is a travel guide written in the early 20th century. The book explores the scenic and historical aspects of Lincolnshire, detailing various routes and notable locations through thorough descriptions and illustrations. This work aims to highlight the region's architecture, landscapes, and unique cultural heritage, primarily for tourists traveling by motor vehicle. The opening of the guide introduces the reader to the geographical diversity of Lincolnshire, emphasizing the distinction between its Fens, Marsh, and Wolds. Rawnsley discusses the challenges faced by tourists in experiencing the county's beauty, especially when relying on the railway, which tends to bypass the most picturesque parts. He sets the stage for a detailed exploration by outlining the itinerary that will be followed throughout the volume, starting from Stamford and weaving through several notable towns and landmarks. In establishing this framework, Rawnsley underscores not only the physical aspects of Lincolnshire but also its historical significance, particularly in relation to its churches and architectural marvels.
