St. Nicolas Church Tours

Comments Off on St. Nicolas Church Tours

Architecture and design abound in this elegant Grade 1 Listed mediaeval church, surrounded by a graveyard managed for nature and famed for its display of Spring flowers.

The elegant fifteenth-century tower of the church of St. Nicolas’ Great Coates is one of the most imposing in this part of Lincolnshire. Due to its prominence, the Ordnance Survey used it as one of its triangulation points and inscribed a waymark at its base. Today the tower hosts the vestry, bells, ringing room, organ, clock mechanism and medieval graffiti. Views from the top are stunning.

The oldest part of the church is the Nave with its fine clustered pillars and round Norman arches. It was built in the very latest Norman style and dates from around 1200 A.D. Whereas, the aisles and chancel are mainly fourteenth century. There is a piscina (a stone basin used for washing communion vessels) in the south aisle as well as in the chancel, showing that there was once a second altar and chantry chapel in the south aisle.

The Church has two very lovely old brasses in memory of the Barnardistons. One, on the chancel step, dates from 1420 and portrays Isabella, wife of Roger Barnardiston. St Nicolas appears in the East Window which depicts Our Lord in glory, and His Mother, holding a galleon and anchor in his pastoral staff.
The imposing brass eagle lectern is a memorial to those who died in the First World War and gravestones from both the world wars can be found in the churchyard.

A guided/self-guided tour of the church, tower and graveyard will be available.

Get moving this National Fitness Day, 24 September 2025

Comments Off on Get moving this National Fitness Day, 24 September 2025

How will you be keeping active this National Fitness Day? Whether it’s trying out a new exercise class, taking a dip in the pool, or having a go in the gym, this nationwide campaign is all about inspiring people to move more and enjoy the physical and mental benefits of being active every single day.

With one in four people in England classed as inactive (doing less than 30 minutes of physical activity a week), National Fitness Day is a powerful opportunity to get millions more people moving and support the NHS by improving the nation’s health.

Did you know?

The UK Chief Medical Officers’ Guidelines recommend:

  • Adults: At least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week – or a mix of both.
  • Strengthening activities: At least two days a week.
  • Reduce sitting: Break up long periods of inactivity.
  • Children and young people: At least 60 minutes of activity every day.

Powered by You!

This year’s theme, ‘Powered by You!’, celebrates the role everyone can play, from individuals and communities to businesses, schools and hospitals, in spreading the message about the importance of physical activity.

As more people prioritise their physical and mental wellbeing, National Fitness Day is a chance to celebrate all the ways we can stay active to support our health and quality of life.

Fancy popping along to an NL Active facility?

Here are just a few ways you can get involved locally:

Swimming

Swimming is a fantastic full-body workout that’s gentle on the joints and great for cardiovascular health. It’s also a brilliant way to relax and de-stress. Swimming doesn’t have to be booked in advance, just turn up and visit reception. If you swim more than twice a week an Active Swim membership will save you money.
