About Market Rasen

Market Rasen, a place where the Lincolnshire Wolds begin their gentle rise, has long been defined by its agricultural heart and the gentle flow of the River Rase. It lies 11.4 km north-north-west of Wragby (from Wragby: bearing 348°T, OS grid TF 106 891), and is situated east of Middle Rasen village. Historically, Market Rasen thrived as a market town, its economy deeply intertwined with the surrounding farmland, a legacy still palpable in the air on market days. The fertile soils have always been its fortune, nurturing crops and livestock, a quiet industry that has shaped the very character of the land and its people. The imposing spire of the parish church, St. Thomas's, stands as a proud sentinel over Market Rasen, a comforting landmark against the wide Lincolnshire sky. While the town might not boast grand palaces or ancient abbeys, its charm lies in its enduring spirit, perhaps best exemplified by the annual Rasen Races, a vibrant local event that draws crowds and injects a lively energy into the community. The intellectual curiosity of the region is also nurtured by De Aston School, a place where young minds are encouraged to flourish, much like the crops in the surrounding fields.
