STEWART BENNETT has lived in Lincolnshire for 30 years. He has taught history at various high schools and been the education officer at the Lincolnshire Archives Office and the City of Lincoln Archaeology Unit. His particular interest is in the history of rural Lincolnshire in the nineteenth century but his general enthusiasm for the county’s history was stimulated by the invitation to act as joint editor of An Historical Atlas of Lincolnshire. He is now retired from full time teaching and has spent his time organising educational visits for both adults and children, teaching adult education groups and lecturing at the Open University.
