Tathwell St Vedast

 

The Parish

The parish of Tathwell lies in eastern central Lincolnshire about 4 miles south of the market town of Louth. Tathwell is a small and compact village lying about a mile west of the A16 road which connects Louth with Boston. Tathwell would have largely been an agricultural community at the time of this transcript and little has changed today, large cereal fields surround the village in all directions. Tathwell is drained by northwards by a small brook which meets others at Louth, from here manmade drainage takes over to channel across the coastal plains to the North Sea through Tetney Haven. Tathwell is sited at around 60 metres above the sea and sits on the eastern edges of the Lincolnshire Wolds, locally the land rises westwards onto the Wolds to reach local heights of almost 150 metres. Tathwell parish was one of the larger for its area, this part of Lincolnshire has many tiny parishes but Tathwell covered almost 4,400 acres and would have supported a population of around 350 parishioners. In Domesday times Tathwell was shared between Earl Hugh of Chester & one Robert a bursar, the parish could offer 11 ploughs, meadows and woodland and 3 mills, a prosperous small settlement indeed.


The Church

St Vedast's church sits at the heart of Tathwell enclosed in a circlet of lanes and hidden from view from most by fronting properties. The building is largely of the Georgian era and probably late 17th century. The one original feature of the church is the base of its western tower which is much earlier and Norman in style. Pevsner grants an early 12th century date to this area of the building. The remainder is clearly of little architectural interest as the description is short and to the point. Pevsner even rails against the timber southern porch which he feels owes little to the county and would be more at home in Sussex. Thacker's Lane forms a complete loop around the church and adjoining properties, it is from the western side that entry is gained, the churchyard has few obstructions making photography simple.
