Summary: "Memorials of Old Lincolnshire" by Edward Mansel Sympson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a comprehensive exploration of Lincolnshire's history, landmarks, notable figures, and cultural heritage throughout various periods, including prehistoric times and the Roman occupation. The book is likely aimed at both locals and historians, as it delves into the county's rich legacy, blending geographical descriptions with significant historical events. The opening of this work presents a detailed introduction to Lincolnshire, emphasizing its agricultural importance and scenic beauty. It discusses notable figures born in the county, such as Sir Isaac Newton and Alfred Lord Tennyson, while also touching upon the architectural marvels like Lincoln Cathedral. The author acknowledges the monastic history, though stating that it will receive separate treatment in the text. Additionally, the preface hints at an analysis of Lincolnshire's prehistoric periods, leading into specific studies of Roman influence which will follow in subsequent chapters.
