SalmonbySalmonby is a village in Lincolnshire, just east of Louth. It lies within the administrative district of East Lindsey. The village houses the church of St Olave, as well as the Cross Keys Inn & Plates Restaurant. An upper palaeolithic core (a piece of flint which has been repeatedly used to flake material from, in order to make flint tools) was found near Salmonby . The core was in good condition and has much good quality usable material, suggesting that it was probably lost rather than discarded, and has been dated at 50,000 - 10,000 years old. The find is very exciting because only one other core of this type has ever been found. Salmonby and its neighbour Teford are home to an annual Scarecrow Festival, where household build impressive scarecrows and display them outside their houses during May every year. The scarecrows are modelled on TV and films persons, historic figures, contempory figures and fictional icons. There is also a local picnic spot which has some faces carved into the local sandstone cliff wall, of unknown origin or age. - Salmonby is located at (53.2500, -0.0167)1.
