History of Lincolnshire Day
Lincolnshire marks the anniversary of the Lincolnshire Rising, a rising of Roman Catholics against the newly established Church of England during the 1530’s. Both Protestants and Catholics were aiming to established religious autonomy.
As the dissolution of monasteries started to occur, much of the properties started transferring over to the Crown. Because the Church of England began to form, many Roman Catholics that inhabited England were not happy.
Many of the protests against the suppression of Catholic religious houses started in the churches of Lincolnshire and spread to nearby towns. However, the protests were cut short when King Henry VIII sent reinforcements and killed off the leaders of the protests.
Lincolnshire Day became a holiday in 2006 by Lincolnshire Life magazine readers and BBC radio listeners. The date was created to help educate locals and those who have moved to the countryside about the event and help honor those who lost their lives.
It also became a way to celebrate the culture of Lincolnshire. Many famous people rose out of the county, including Sir Isaac, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Matthew Flinders, and Joseph Banks. The county celebrates the event by wearing yellow and supporting their local businesses.
