Hey Les
Winterton is in between Scunthorpe and Barton on Humber on the A1077...
Eliza Tennyson was Alfred Lord Tennyson's mother...don't know what else she did, but I think she played the flute, and probably said "Alfred, don't do that", a lot.
Don't know where Liam hangs these days but I know he is heavily into the Lincolnshire tradition and has a country dance band....great squeeze box player and all around good bloke...perhaps you can do the google thing and make contact.
I seem to remember a sort of bassoon in the case at Winterton church....but my brain cobwebs are getting in the way .

I head back to San Francisco in a week...but have a four day trip to Hamburg in the middle...sort of working vacation...
