An original, aerial photograph taken by Eric Green, Press-Photographer, 9 Wintringham Road, Grimsby. This is a view of The Vicarage from the south-west.

Canon Algernon Augustus Markham (1869 – 1949) was the Rural Dean of Grimsby and Cleethorpes from 1913 until 1928. This reverse of this photograph is annotated with “With love from all the Markhams”. The Markhams must have obtained this photo to give it to somebody around a decade after they left Grimsby for Grantham and then Stoke Rochford.
