The Owmby Group
Welcome To Our Site
Who Are We?
The Owmby Group comprises five parishes situated just off the A15 in Lincolnshire, running northwards from Hackthorn to Bishopbridge (which is just beyond Glentham). Hackthorn is approx. eight miles from Lincoln and Glentham about sixteen.
The five churches in use are St. Michael and All Angels at Hackthorn, St. Helen's at Saxby, St. Hilary's at Spridlington, St. Peter's & Paul's at Owmby, and St. Peter's at Glentham. There are also several redundant churches and chapels, including a Methodist Free Chapel and St. Peter's at Normanby. Glentham has a Methodist Chapel still in use.

The Owmby Group publish their own parishes magazine called The Signpost. The magazine is now being offered for download from this website as a service to those who have moved away from the area, but are still interested in the local happenings.

Message From The Rector
If you travel north from Lincoln along the old Roman road (which is now the A15), we are in the flat countryside to your right - a string of villages among acres of farmland. Our communities are small, but lively and welcoming, and in each of the major villages we have an active local church, set in five of the most beautiful church buildings in the county.
We hope you enjoy our website.
Do come and see us.
Peter Godden
Rector
