A walk on the wolds side to a haunted foodie pub through historic, rolling Tennyson country
ealby. Two syllables hinting at 1,600 years of history. The name of this little Lincolnshire wolds spot is thought to mean “village of the Taifali people”. Which is odd, as the east Germanic Taifali tribe hailed from the Carpathian mountains, far from the east Midlands.
Meanwhile, ambitious Uncle Charles, eager for a peerage, added the noble d’Eyncourt to his name and built the gothic-style Bayons Manor outside Tealby, starting in 1836. In the end,There’s a memorial to Charles in Tealby’s 12th-century All Saints church. But I’m more taken by the facilities. A parish meeting is under way and a woman says the kettle’s boiled and would I like a cup of tea? “We have toilets too, put in last year!”.
Here I veer west, edging the woods, descending to Claxby, another former Viking settlement. Then there’s a quiet lane south, before I head up alongside the wood once more, following a wide track back to the Viking Way. I’m not on the same path for long. I leave Walesby via a different trail, squeezing through a stone stile and return to Tealby by a lower path, beneath the stepped-brick battlements of Castle Farm.

The Voice referendum will be held on the 14th of October. “Grand Final week is now over, we have two weeks until the vote and the way things are looking, you’d have to say that it hasn’t gone the way perhaps the Prime Minister was expecting,” Mr Lloyd told Sky News Australia. “We’ve had the first votes out in rural–regional communities, Aboriginal communities north of Broome. “The Australian was there and the first vote interestingly was a question mark, so that’s informal but the question that was posed is well how is this going to make a difference.”
