Fulstow is a small ‘marsh' village in the North East of Lincolnshire, England, half way between the towns of Louth and Grimsby , scattered around the ‘30 foot' contour road. This road joins Fulstow to the neighbouring villages of Covenham and Alvingham to the south and Tetney to the north. It is situated on the Meridian Line with an abundance of fresh water springs and a population of approximately 550.
Fulstow War Memorial is sited at the village Hall and is dedicated to the brave Soldiers from Fulstow.
The church, to the north of the village, is dedicated to the Roman Saint Lawrence and built in the Early English Gothic style. There is also a Methodist Chapel, which was built in 1836. This is the sole remaining Chapel of three that were in use until comparatively recently.
A village school has been in continuous existence for well over 100 years and continues to be a centre of excellence, producing scholars who in the past have gone on to seek their fortune in the world. Contact, however, has been maintained with many of these old pupils through their relatives remaining in the village.
Village life is centred around agriculture although in more recent years "incomers" have moved into the village and enhanced the skills and occupations of the existing residents with varying degrees of success. These include such diverse activities as sports, amateur dramatics, theatre productions and local history, involving anyone and everyone from school children to OAP's.
Fulstow Post Office and Village Store, is situated on Main Street , at the cross roads in the heart of the village. They have been located in the same premises for several generations and has been run by well known local characters during that time. The premises themselves on the outside have remained more or less unchanged over those years, as shown in the photographs, retaining the character and charm typical of an English rural village shop.
The Cross Keys public house, egg farm, market gardens and other small local businesses help to keep the village more or less self sufficient and thriving with a community spirit that is "alive and kicking".
