Glentham is both a village and parish 7.5 miles west of Market Rasen and 2.5 miles east of where Ermine Street (now the A15 trunk road) crosses the new A631 running east from Gainsborough. The parish covers over 2,200 acres and includes part of Bishop-Bridge on the village's side of the River Ancholme.

Glentham village is split by the A631, so it is easy to find. If you are planning a visit:

• Take the A15 trunk road, north out of Lincoln for 14 miles and turn right (east) onto the A631 at Spittal.
   
• Stop in at the Village Hall and get a schedule of current events. Photo by J. THOMAS, taken on 1 Sept., 2012.
   
• See our touring page for area resources.

The county town is Lincoln, famous for its magnificent cathedral, which ranks as one of the most awe inspiring in the world. Lincolnshire is separated from ancient Yorkshire by the River Humber and lies north of Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. To the west are Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. To the east lies the North Sea.
