LINCOLN RECORD SOCIETY TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
President’s Introduction
Nigel Burn’s generous 2020 bequest continues to be visible in every area of Society activity. Our memorial to Nigel’s own contribution to local history - The “New Priorities’ programme - was explained in the Report for 2020-21 and what follows is a commentary on the progress we have made on those priorities during 2024-25.
Members will recall that our Council’s ambitious ‘New Priorities’ programme is organised under five headings:
-
1) Now that issues with our website have been resolved, the platform offering Society members and collaborators a single hub for accessing searchable digitised versions of previous LRS volumes is fully operational. The website is now also offering information on, and access to, several other activities arising from the New Priorities programme. Once again, we owe a vote of thanks to our redoubtable Treasurer, Ken Hollamby, for managing the complex issues involved. We continue to see a modest addition in the numbers of new members on account of the website offer and the significance of the website as the functional core of the Society can only grow from here.
-
2) Last year’s glimmer of hope in respect of the mediated digitization of historical documents has grown brighter, but not to such an extent that the Society has yet completed any such project. The good news, however, is that FPC has now approved significant changes in the commissioning of work for our website, which we hope will
-
- enable Dr Wheeler to generate published output ... in time for next year’s report.
-
3) Our programme of ‘outreach’ projects, directed by Dr Andrew Walker, continues to have an impact and this year a steady flow of excellent projects has been designed and executed. This budget is becoming a successful ally alongside other projects promoted by the Society and, although the budget is relatively modest, the impact on local groups is considerable, thank you again, Andrew. The News Review also goes from strength to strength under the direction of Dr Hannah Boston. In addition to making valuable contributions to FPC discussions, she has produced two bumper editions this year and has ambitious plans for the future. Officers continue to be grateful to Dr Boston for her commitment to the Society.
-
4) The Large Grants programme, under the direction of Dr Julian Haseldine, continues to develop and to gain valuable experience. Supported by our specialist Large Grants Committee (LGC), Dr Haseldine’s ‘pipeline’ of projects for consideration has enabled us to generate significant policy documents this year, that will make the management of the programme more straightforward, and also easier to explain to potential funding partners. It is intended to submit a major statement on the Large Grants scheme to Council for approval in Autumn 2025. The number and quality of proposals coming forward continues to rise, establishing the Society as a major supporter of the study of history within the former Diocese of Lincoln. The details of awards made during the year are given in the report (below).

LINCOLN RECORD SOCIETY TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
-
5) Under the direction of our Secretary, Paul Dryburgh, the Society’s programme of Small Grants has also now established itself as one of the Society’s most effective tools for encouraging the study of history within the ancient diocese. As can be seen from Dr Dryburgh’s report (below), excellent proposals continue to make their way to his door, and the Society can be proud that we can support many of them, thanks to Nigel Burn’s generosity.
-
6) To repeat last year’s report: following consultation and discussion with stakeholders, our programme of conservation work on documents has been inextricably tied to projects that assist work under the four previous headings. Where a document forming an integral part of a project progressed/ funded under one of the above work-steams requires conservation attention, we will seek to grant-aid that conservation work. Although no such documents have been proposed for grant-aid under this heading during the reporting year, FPC have now begun discussions with Lincolnshire Archives Office regarding the famous Lincoln series of Bishops’ Registers.

LINCOLN RECORD SOCIETY TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Structure, Governance and Management
The Society was founded in 1910 by Canon Charles Wilmer Foster, and subsequently endowed by Kathleen Major and Nigel Burn, with the object of publishing records and documents relating to church, parochial, manorial, family history and other aspects of the history of the county and ancient diocese of Lincoln.
Policies to enable the Society to achieve its charitable objectives are determined by its Council of trustees, which meets once or twice each year. An annual report and any changes to the governing document are put before members at the Annual General Meeting, usually held in October or early November. The day to day running of the Society is delegated by Council to the Finance and Publications Committee and to its Officers. An annual budget and five year plan is reviewed and approved by Council at its autumn meeting.
Membership is open to all, on payment of the annual subscription, currently set at £25 for all members, in return for which, members are supplied with the annual main series publications of the Society. Subscriptions are due on 1 August each year, but members may join at any time during the year and receive a full year’s benefits. Most of the Society’s publications deal with Lincolnshire, but some of the volumes include matter relating to the counties of Bedford, Buckingham, part of Hertford, Huntingdon, Leicester, Northampton, Oxford and Rutland, which were in former days included in the diocese of Lincoln. Members are entitled to purchase back volumes and publications in the additional series at a discount.
The governing document is reproduced here.
The Rules of the Society are:
-
The Society shall be called the LINCOLN RECORD SOCIETY (hereinafter referred to as the Society).
-
The object of the Society shall be the advancement of public education in the history of the ancient diocese of Lincoln and the county of Lincolnshire especially by the transcription, editing and publication of original historical documents. The word ‘Diocese’ in this clause shall include any counties which have at anytime formed part of the Diocese of Lincoln.
-
Membership of the Society shall be constituted by the payment of the annual subscription, or, in the case of life members, of the composition
-
4, The annual subscription shall be determined from time to time by the trustees and shall be payable on the first day of August in every year. A composition of an amount twenty times that of the annual subscription shall constitute life membership from the date Of composition.

LINCOLN RECORD SOCIETY TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Trustees: The Council members constitute trustees of the charity for the purposes of charity legislation, having due regard to the qualifications, reputation and relevant abilities of the candidates. Explanation of the legal duties and responsibilities of trustees is given by the Secretary to new trustees, and all trustees are advised of any changes to relevant legislation and recommended best practice. From time to time trustees receive training from external providers.
Risks: are identified, determined, evaluated and managed by regular review of operating conditions, and by the maintenance of a risk register, which is reviewed at least annually by the Finance and Publications Committee. The major risks to which the Society is exposed relate to market conditions surrounding its investment portfolio, data loss relating to its financial and administrative records, and the loss of the officers without adequate provision being made for their replacement and the transfer of knowledge. In the trustees’ opinion, reasonable steps have been taken to reduce exposure to these risks.
Data Protection: In May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force. This regulates the processing of personal data by organisations. In order to ensure the Society's compliance the officers have drawn up a Data Protection and Information Security Policy. This sets out the personal data the Society collects and the mechanisms by which it seeks to process further, manage (including destruction) and store that data, in order to comply with this legislation and fulfil the contractual agreement between Society and member with regard to the benefits of the subscription. It also outlines procedures for review and revision in line with future legislation. Full details of the policy are available on our website.
Objectives and Activities
The Society’s objectives are noted above.
Activities are established by the trustees to meet and accord with the Society’s charitable objectives. In addition to the publication of historical documents relating to the diocese and ancient county of Lincolnshire, the Society also makes grants for research and other purposes which, in the opinion of the trustees, will further the Society’s objectives. The Society also organises events for its members and the general public which help to achieve its objectives. It also actively communicates with its members via social media and email as well as print publications.
Public Benefit: The trustees having regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Society should undertake, the Society makes its volumes freely available to the general public by appointment with Lincoln Cathedral Library where two sets of its publications are held. The Society’s volumes are also stocked by many public libraries and archives, and are available for sale to non-members on payment of the cover price in force for the time being. The Society’s website isavailable to all Internet users, and contain information about its work, publications, grant-making programme, linked organisations, and events open to the general public.
Volunteers: the Society’s trustees are all volunteers, and it has not yet needed any other volunteers who are not trustees. It is estimated that the trustees contribute some 1000 — 1500 hours per annum of their time to the running of the Society. The equivalent financial benefit of these hours of professional time may be in the region of £100,000 per annum.

Communications
In the year under review, two further editions of our News Review have been published under the editorship of Dr Hannah Boston. The Autumn 2024 edition included a Welcome by Jack Newman as a new trustee, giving an insight into how he works with the Society's volumes. There were reports from the ‘Writing the Air War’ and the ‘Gender and Medieval Studies’ conference. A preview of Professor Maria Hayward’s splendid volume Privy Purse Accounts of Catherine ofBraganza, and Mick Jones’ Digeing Lincoln were also included. Reports on recent book launches featured, along with obituaries for Nick Lyons, Gordon Plumb and David Smith.
The Spring 2025 edition featured various reports on events, including some held over from last year. Ken Hollamby updated members on the Hearth Tax project and Dr Julian Haseldine reported on the Large Grants scheme. Dr Nicholas Bennett wrote an obituary for our longeststanding member Dr Reg Brocklesby, who died shortly before his one hundredth birthday. Due to the wealth of business to review, the Finance and Publications Committee approved an increase in the size of the News Review, which is issued twice annually, usually in Spring and Autumn.
The Society’s social media profile has now become temporarily moribund while a new website is built. Nevertheless, thanks to colleagues at Boydell we issue regular email communications to members regarding upcoming events and volume promotions.
Outreach
LRS_AGM 2024
On 9 November 2024, around thirty members of the Society returned to Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln, for the Annual General Meeting. Dr Jack Rhoden and Elaine Johnson ofBGU presented a fascinating AGM Lecture on their work, supported by the Society, on the archive of Lincoln Diocesan Training College and their project to digitise and make publicly available that archive.
During the year further talks have been given by LRS editors at public events. On 3 May, John Manterfield spoke at Grantham Library as part of the Lincolnshire Library’s Local History Month, The recent Lincoln Record Society volume, 112, The Material World ofa Restoration Queen Consort: Catherine ofBraganza, was officially launched on Friday 11 April at The Stonebow and Guildhall, in Lincoln, with a talk given by the book’s editor, Professor Maria Hayward.
During the year, a LRS student outreach project was undertaken, funded by the LRS and organised by Dr Derwin Gregory and Dr Alan Malpass of Bishop Grosseteste University. This took the form of an historical game jam - an event in which, usually against the clock, participants attempt to make a game from scratch. Students from Branston Community Academy attended both days at BGU (3 December 2024 and 14 February 2025) and provided three teams. In addition, a group of current BGU students formed a team that attended on the first day. A full report has been written by Dr Derwin Gregory for the LRS’s News Review.

Conferences
In September 2024 the Society collaborated on a superb conference with the British Association for Local History and the Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology (SLHA): ‘Untold Stories: New Research from the documents of the City, county and Historic Diocese of Lincoln’. This took place at Lincoln College and featured ten talks across a range of topics and periods from Dr Kathryn Dutton’s exploration of the Kirkstead cartulary through to Dr Shirley Brook’s mesmerising investigation of Victorian and Edwardian domestic decorative wall tiling in Lincolnshire. Around sixty delegates attended a conference that attested to the vibrancy of scholarship on topics of relevance to the Society. Several volume editors and recipients of LRS
Nigel Burn Research grants were among the presenters, highlighting the fresh impetus the Society is giving to research into the city, county and diocese of Lincoln. Members of all three collaborating societies received a discount on tickets.
Future conferenceplans
The Society has also worked during the year under review to plan further conferences for 2025 and beyond. The flagship will be ‘Counting Chimneys: The Hearth Tax in Lincolnshire’, to be held at Lincoln College on Saturday 25 October 2025. This collaborative conference involves the LRS, the Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology’s Building Recording Group (RUBL) and the Britsh Record Society. The event is the precursor to a hearth tax volume relating to Lincolnshire, which is due to be published by all three bodies. Proposed speakers will include contributors to the volume, notably Dr Nicholas Bennett, Naomi Field, Jenne Pape, and Dr Rob Wheeler. LRS members have received a discounted ticket offer for this event. The Society is also supporting the Thirteenth-Century Conference at the University of Lincoln in September 2025, with a sponsored session on records relating to the ancient city, county and diocese. Members will receive discounts on ticket prices.

Webinarprogramme
The LRS Research webinar series reconvened in February 2025. The first renewal took the theme ‘New research on Medieval Religious Life and Thought in Lincolnshire’. Attendees heard papers from Dr Kathryn Dutton (University of Leeds) on Kirkstead Abbey and the Beks of Eresby, assessing the extensive evidence provided by the newly-transcribed charters and cartulary of Kirkstead Abbey, alongside extant conventual seals, episcopal memoranda and late-medieval compilations, and from Dr Owain Gardner (University of Glasgow) on Robert Grosseteste’s conception of music, its role in the world and its utility in terms of cure of souls. Further webinars are planned for the autumn.
Book Festivals
The Society has once again participated in local book festivals. In late September 2025 Nicholas Bennett, John Manterfield and Andrew Walker gave entertaining and informative talks at the revived Lincoln Book Festival on, most notably, A Parson in Wartime, and the Hal! Books of Grantham. There was publicity material about the Society and an exhibition relating the Freiburg Letters was also displayed. An audience of approximately 35 was in attendance. In June, Dr Bennett spoke on the Arthur Manley Hopkins Boston war diary at the Boston Book Festival.

Collaborations
The Society has consolidated its association with the University of Lincoln and its Medieval Studies Research Group. Organised by Council member Professor Louise Wilkinson, Dr Nicholas Bennett presented the annual collaborative lecture on 7 May with the title ‘Combatting the “swinish snouts” of heretics: the life and episcopate of Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln 1420-1431’.
Awards
The LRS Prize for Best Dissertation in MA History at the University of Lincoln has been awarded to Isaac Fox for the dissertation, “The Role of Thatcherism in Shaping Rave Culture, 1984-1994”. The winner of the LRS Prize for Best Dissertation in MA Medieval Studies is Zoe Kelly, for her dissertation: “Tisiphone Transformed: the Abstraction of Statius’ Fury in Medieval Christian Receptions of the Thebald”. Each winner receives £100 and three years’ free membership of the Society. :
Small Grants
Every year the Society allocates a budget of £30,000 towards supporting a programme of small grant awards, usually up to but not exceeding £10,000. In the year under review the Society has supported the following projects, awarding a total of £21,996:
-
e SLHA Golden Jubilee (Kathy Holland, Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology)
-
-e@ Survey of Lincoln, Sztes ofEducation (Dr Andrew Walker, Survey of Lincoln) e = Lincoln(shire) Unlocked (Professor Anna Marie Roos) e Stamford Mercury Archive Trust (Martin Smith) e Bernard Samuel Gilbert’s Fietton Village (Professor Andrew Jackson) e Stamford Pubs & Breweries, reprint (Martin Smith) e = Thirteenth-Century Conference, University of Lincoln (Professor Louise Wilkinson) e International Medieval Congress, speaker expenses (Dr Martin Roberts)
-
e Historic Towns Trust, map of Boston (Professor Stephen Rigby & Neil Wright)
Victoria County History of Lincolnshire: Spalding
Members will be aware that the national project to write the history of every county of England — the Victoria County History (VCH) — does not serve Lincolnshire well. Only one volume, largely focussing on medieval religious houses but with essays on Political, Social and Economic History, Industries, Agriculture, Forestry, Endowed Schools, and Sport, has been published as far back as 1906. The VCH aims to complete authoritative, encyclopaedic histories of each county, from the earliest archaeological records to the present day, as well as topics such as topography, landscape and the built environment. During the year under review and following robust debate in both the Finance and Publications Committee and Council, the Society has entered into a joint venture with the Spalding Gentlemen’s Society (SGS), guided by a Memorandum of Agreement, to support a project to produce a new two-volume set of ‘Shorts’ on the town of Spalding. This will be the first history of the town since the 1940s.

Under the direction of Dr Michael Gilbert, President of SGS and Director of the new Centre for Fenland Studies, where the project is based, and Sue Hughes, both of the Centre for English Local History at the University of Leicester, the VCH Spalding project has been up and running for over a year. It has been very active in scoping out the project, recruiting volunteers to undertake the research and in liaising with the national VCH editorial team in London. Some trustees of the Society have joined the project’s Steering Group to advise on the content of the volumes and the training requirements of volunteers. Its next task is to recruit a Project Editor to compile and do the initial editing of the volumes. The role also involves identification, of the research group’s training needs in order to produce material that meets the VCH national standard for publication, and to coordinate a training programme. As part of the Project Design, members of the LRS will receive invitations to join the project’s training and outreach events.
In order to set the project on a firmer financial and administrative footing, the executive officers of the LRS and SGS have, under the Memorandum of Agreement, established a Project Management Board under the chairmanship of Dr Gilbert. The Board’s remit is to approve the Project Design, approve proposals for funding, agree the appointment of the Editor, set the project tmetable, receive reports on progress and monitor against the Design, receive reports from the Steering Group on the quality of the completed work, and to report back to the trustees of the founding and funding bodies. The LRS is supporting the project with £10,000 towards the contract of the Project Editor, and the Board will work closely with the Steering Group and Project Editor to explore further avenues for funding for the project which is due to complete in 2028.
Lincoln Episcopal Registers
During the year under review exploratory discussions have been taken forward by the Society’s officers with a view to constructing a project to make the medieval and early modern registers of the bishops of Lincoln more accessible. The concept is to use the successful York model of conservation, digitisation and metadata creation to provide a new means of digital access. Meetings have taken place with representatives of several archives to assess capacity to undertake the work. The aim is to assess what might be feasible before a more concrete proposal is drawn up for consideration by Council. Members will receive updates as and when available.
Large Grants
A Nigel Burn Memorial Research Grant of £62,491 payable over three years was approved in May 2023 to Dr W. Jack Rhoden of Bishop Grosseteste University (from September 1* 2025 Lincoln Bishop University) for Lzncoln Diocesan Training College: a biographical register ofits earliest students (1862-1918). A second payment of £17,058 was made.
A Nigel Burn Memorial Postgraduate Studentship of £68,932 payable over three years was approved in August 2023 to Jessica Holt, PhD student, University of Lincoln, towards the completion of the doctoral project titled Thomas Bek (d. 1347), Bishop ofLincoln: Familial Networks, Ecclesiastical Responsibitities and Poktics. A final payment of £23,334 was made.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE MEMBERS OF LINCOLN RECORD SOCIETY (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00513433)
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial * statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

LINCOLN RECORD SOCIETY INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 July 2025 which are set out on pages 12 to 19.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below:
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
tO prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
