 SpaldingDay 8.
Spalding is the centre of the bulb growing industry so in the Spring it is surrounded by field of glorious colour. The famous Flower Festival takes place every May.
The town grew up around a Benedictine priory, founded about 1087 by Thorold of Bucknall, and a castle, both of which have long disappeared.
The church of St. Mary and St. Nicholas was built about 1284. Its best feature is the hammerbeam roof with carved angels.
