Exploring Lindsey and Its Hamlets

The area of Lindsey isn't just one village! It also includes smaller places called hamlets, like Lindsey Tye and Rose Green. Together, these spots are home to about 92 households. Even though they are spread out, they all form part of the Lindsey parish.

Important Buildings in Rose Green

Rose Green is a special part of Lindsey because it has four buildings that are officially "listed." This means they are important historical buildings that are protected. These include the Chapel of St James, Rose Green Farmhouse, the White Rose Inn, and an old cottage.

Discovering St James's Chapel

One of the most interesting places to visit in Lindsey is St James's Chapel. This chapel was built way back in the 13th century, which makes it super old! It has a unique thatched roof, which means the roof is made of straw or reeds. Today, English Heritage looks after the chapel to make sure it stays safe and preserved for everyone to enjoy.
