More pictures and memories from my archive, these are from a day in May 2024.
In 2023 I photographed the annual "Wolds Tractor run" which started at Caudwell's farm in Ludborough. I only photographed the gathering on that day and the tractors leaving the yard on their way out onto the run. I posted those pictures on my blog.
In 2024 I photographed the tractors again but this time, out on the route of the run as they passed through the village of Wold Newton. A place I visit very often and you may be familiar with it from previous posts. Popcorn & I positioned ourselves on a bend in the road as they were leaving the village, so I could get a head on view as they approached. I took a lot of photo's (as you can imagine) but pruned them down somewhat. There's still maybe too many included here, sorry.

| This is the first of the tractors on the run, having just gone through Wold Newton. |
 |
| Some of the older, vintage tractors. |
 |
| More arriving from my right. |
 |
| The view to my left as they went on their way along the lane. |
 |
| I usually get a wave or two at these events, probably attracted by the sight of Popcorn! |
 |
| A newer model. |
 |
| They were followed by the modern, giant tractors. |
 |
| I managed to get a bit of wheel spin into this and the next pic. |
 |
| As the last tractor went on it's way I waited for the support vehicles. |
 |
| This rather splendid Mercedes open tourer had a flashing beacon to warn following motorists what lay ahead. |
After the tractors had all passed through we walked back into the village for tea & cake at the village hall. Afterwards we went to the village church to take a few photo's.
All Saints Church, Wold Newton.
 |
| This is All Saints Church on a hill overlooking the village of Wold Newton. In some reference sources it's also known as "All Hallows". |
 |
| The original church dates back to the 12th century, but the current church was rebuilt to a design by the renowned church architect James Fowler from Louth, in 1862. It was Consecrated again in 1862 and is thought to be the 5th church on the site. |
 |
| The south porch has flowers around it, I took these photo's in May 2024. I think the flowers here must be Dandelions. |
 |
| The interior is largely the vision of the village Squire from 1879 - 1956, William Morris Wright. While at Oxford University he became influenced by the high church revival and on his return enjoyed embellishing the church. A rood screen over the chancel has the figures of the crucified Christ and the two Marys, there are eight small statues of saints around the walls. |
 |
| This statue is of Saint George slaying the dragon. |
 |
| The chancel is elliptical with windows all around it. |
 |
| The final photo is taken from the chancel, looking down the knave to the west end tower. Although out of site, Popcorn is waiting for me just inside the south porch door. We hope you enjoyed this post. Nikon Z6ii + 24 - 70mm lens. |
