Join us for a FREE tourism training session next Wednesday, and prepare for opening or reopening when restrictions ease.

And, finally, here's something we didn't know until we started writing this thread: barn owls have previously had the nickname 'church owls'. It's not hard to see a number of reasons why. Thanks for that great fact, @LincsWildlife!

Last weekend saw the return of the #SuperBowl but we're going to share some #SuperbOwls with you instead!

Here's some owls in situ at Boston St Botolph, Aslackby St James, Hough on the Hill All Saints & Welbourn St Chad. Do you know of any others? 🦉🦉🦉🦉

We can't tweet about owls, churches & Lincolnshire without mentioning Sutterby St John the Baptist. The church dates from the 15th century & has been in the care of the @FriendsChurches since 1981. The @SpiritoSutterby project's logo is an owl. Here's why!

[Friendless Churches @friendschurches]

Looking after some of the ancient and important churches of England and Wales is a huge privilege.

But at Sutterby, Lincolnshire, we are doubly privileged as the church is a favourite nesting place of barn owls.
