St Martin's church stands on the site of a Roman temple

Ancaster, nestled in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, was once a lively Roman town. It was located at the crossroads of two major Roman roads: Ermine Street and King Street. The village's Grade I listed Anglican parish church, dedicated to St Martin, stands slightly elevated on Ermine Street on the probable site of a Roman temple. The name 'Ancaster' first appeared in a 12th-century Danelaw charter under the reign of Henry II. This ancient town is a testament to change over time, from its days as a vibrant Roman settlement to its current form as a serene village.
