Marton and Gate Burton *Feast of Lanterns*

Marton village hosts a small community adjacent to the River Trent in Lincolnshire.  Historically it has been established that Marton was the location of a Roman fort guarding a crossing point on the Trent linking Lincoln and York avoiding the challenge of a River Humber crossing.

Marton is situated about 5 miles south of Gainsborough and twelve miles from Lincoln.  Both these towns enjoy a rich heritage that is worthy of a visit.  The former was a major Mercian city for the Anglo-Saxon period and established as an important inland port.  Lincoln is a tourist destination with a host of attractions.  This historically significant city is famous for it's impressive Cathedral which dates back to the early Norman conquest
