Officers have appealed for witnesses to contact them on 101.

I've just been talking to Philip Manser who's the organist and a bellringer at the church in Scothern, near Lincoln.

It's one of just a few villages in the country which still upholds the tradition of ringing a bell to mark Pancake Day.

Mr Manser says the tradition goes back to medieval times, when the bell was rung to call people in from the fields on Shrove Tuesday to confess their sins before Ash Wednesday.

An education trust that was forced to give up running one of Lincolnshire's newest secondary schools is facing further criticism from Ofsted today.

The E-Act trust ran Gainsborough's Trent Valley Academy until two years ago when it was told by the education watchdog that standards were too low.

Lincoln College has since taken over as sponsor of the Gainsborough school. 

E-Act, which now runs 23 academies across England but none in Lincolnshire, says work's ongoing to improve its performance.

There'll be first-day nerves for Jack Pryor today as he takes charge of his first race meeting at Market Rasen racecourse.

Jack's the new clerk of the course and is responsible for turf management, preparation, race programming, monitoring the going and ensuring that the track is in top condition.

He says he's confident of a good day's racing - despite the going being soft to heavy because of recent rain. The first race of the day is at 14:00.
