This website contains information about the villages of Castle Bytham and Little Bytham, in Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.
Local band, “The Uninvited Guests”, will be playing at The Castle, in Castle Bytham, tonight (Sunday 1 May 2011) from 8.30pm. Meals will still be available from 6.00 to 9.00pm, if you’re feeling hungry, and space has been cleared for ‘anyone to have a wee boogie if you find your feet are tapping to the beat’.
Princess Elizabeth passed Little Bytham hauling the Cathedrals Express from Kings Cross to York this morning (Thursday 28 April 2011).
After the first cuckoo earlier in the month, what is believe to be the another first for 2011 … “cows loose in the village” was heard this evening when a dozen or more were seen roaming down the High Street in Little Bytham. After undertaking preliminary inspections for the Bythams Best Garden Competition and fertilising various paths, as well as the road, they were persuaded to return to their field – an activity which interrupted an evening of putting practice down Church Lane apparently. 🙂
Music in Quiet Places is a series of performances, which have taken place on summer evenings in south west Lincolnshire for the last 22 years. The venues and performances change every year, the last performance in theBythams area taking place during Music in Quiet Places 2010 when “The Lincs Effect” performed in St James Church in Castle Bytham.
Simon Thacker‘s technical virtuosity and emotionally charged interpretations have established him as one of Britain’s most exciting classical performers and on Thursday 28 July at 7.30pm he will be performing in St Andrew’s Church in Witham-on-the-Hill.

With the Easter weekend fast approaching it seems a good idea to detail some of the happenings in theBythams area from Good Friday on 22nd April through to Easter Monday on 24th.
Thanks to help from Chris Holmes, theBythams website now includes information, in its Railways, Trains etc. section, of steam rail tours which pass through Little Bytham on the East Coast Mainline. Much of the information has been gleaned from the UK Steam Info website, supplemented by information from the websites of the companies organising the tours – primarily Steam Dreams, who manage the LNER Peppercorn Class A1 60163 Tornado, and The Railway Touring Company.
