| There are many remains
of deserted villages in Lincolnshire. There are impressions in the ground
which are the remnants of streets, cottages and ditches. eg. Skendleby
and Calceby.
Grass covered earth show the sites of ancient villages. Calceby ('Calesbi')
was once a thriving village in the thirteenth century. It had its own
church called St. Andrew's. The chalk interior of some of the main walls
are still there and a few of the exterior stones are remain in place.
Much of the stone was probably used in other buildings in the area. The
last service to be held in St. Andrews was in 1692.
