The history of our town is a wonderful ‘rabbit hole’ to fall down, so we have created this page with all the Horncastle Entries that we have found (so far!) in regional historical directories.
The directories typically concentrate on the businesses and trades within an area, but some also include residents and their addresses, so you can place them around town quite accurately.
You can also find your relatives in the Cemetery by using our HeritEDGE system, which uses GPS to locate, and direct you to, individual graves when used within the cemetery grounds: Find a grave
