About this event
Local historian and author, Emma Lingard, will be giving a talk on the history of Barnoldby le Beck, its church, residents and some of the fabled legends surrounding the black Grim. Did you know the first Frenchman to sit in the House of Commons lived here? Or that the person who founded Private Eye was born in the village? Expect some interesting anecdotes and stories about this village. All monies raised from the talk will be given to the upkeep of St Helen’s Church, a Grade I listed building dating back to the Norman age. Emma is a local historian and broadcaster who wrote the book Grimsby Streets in 2017. She leads guided history tours around north east Lincolnshire and is a regular contributor to the media when it comes to the area’s history. Recently she has been on Sky News, BBC Radio 4, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, and BBC One’s Who Do You Think You Are.
