When I was at school, many years ago, the Lincolnshire uprising was not something that featured on the history curriculum and I came across the information by accident when reading a novel about Tudor times. Two things struck me significantly straight away…. it was history of my own County and secondly the man who sparked it off was a shoemaker in Louth called Nicholas Melton (my own surname) so I began to do some research into what had happened and why.
This website is all about the things that led up to the rebellion and what happened afterwards, so I hope you will enjoy reading about it as much as I have enjoyed the research that led me here….
