1. Margaret Thatcher Marker

Inscription. Baroness Thatcher was born above her father's grocery shop on North Parade. As a young woman growing up in the town, she attended the nearby Kesteven and Grantham Girls School. Her father, Alfred Roberts, once Alderman of Grantham, was a lay preacher at the Methodist Church on Finkin Street, where the lectern is dedicated to his memory.

St Wulfram's Church is one of Grantham's greatest treasures, and houses the remarkable Trigge Chained Library, which dates from 1598. It would have been familiar to a young Isaac Newton who was educated at the nearby King's School. The names and initials of the school's pupils over many centuries can be found carved into the walls of the historic school house on Church Street.

Venture further and you will find the River Witham - wander it's tranquil riverside path to Wyndham Park, a beautiful oasis in the heart of town.
