Worlaby LINCOLNSHIRE WOLDS
Anyone who knows anything about the history of game shooting will know Lincolnshire was the home of the late Sir Joe Nickerson. It was he, and his team of fellow Guns, known as The Big Six, who shot a record-breaking number of English partridge back in the 1950s.
On the day of our visit to Worlaby, I was joining one of the descendants of The Big Six, Tim Lamyman - grandson of Leonard - on his estate, one renowned for its partridge shooting, not just in Lincolnshire but much farther afield. The 2,200-acre estate in the Lincolnshire Wolds is a beautiful spot that is not only famous for shooting but also farming. Tim is something of a celebrity farmer who holds world record yields for oilseed rape, dried peas and, until recently, wheat as well, which he is striving very hard to regain.
Tim no longer runs the shoot day-to-day
