Woodhall Spa is a civil parish and village in Lincolnshire, England, on the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, 6 miles south-west of Horncastle and 15 miles east-south-east of Lincoln. It is noted for its mineral springs, cinema and its Second World War association with the RAF 617 Squadron. The cinema has the last remaining rear screen projector in the country.
Woodhall Spa came about by accident in 1811 after John Parkinson of Old Bolingbroke made several attempts to find coal. After spending several thousand pounds and sinking a shaft over 1,000 feet deep, the enterprise was abandoned on account of the now rising spring. The Legacy Woodhall Spa Hotel, which opened in 1882 as the Eagle Lodge Hotel. It was converted into a nursing home in the 1960s and reopened as a hotel in 1991.
The more ancient parish of Kirkstead was amalgamated with Woodhall Spa in the early 1980s, thus formalising what was already a reality. Kirkstead is the western side of Woodhall Spa between the village centre and the River Witham. It has its origins in Kirkstead Abbey, of the Cistercian order, founded in 1139 by Hugh Brito, Lord of Tattershall. It was around this abbey that the hamlet of Kirkstead grew. The railways spelled the end of Kirkstead's isolation and eventually of Kirkstead itself, as Woodhall Spa's increasing popularity led it to expand outwards into Kirkstead parish until it reached the banks of the River Witham.
Woodhall Lodge or Wood Corner, as it was then known, became the property of one Thomas Hotchkin of Rutland, Lord of the Manor of Thimbleby and Woodhall. Hotchkin had inherited many manors throughout Rutland and Lincolnshire but Woodhall Lodge was his particular favourite and where he spent most of his time.
The Tower-on-the-Moor, an octagonal, four-storey, red brick-built tower, is the stair turret of what is believed to have been a hunting lodge, built in the mid–15th century for Ralph de Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell whose fortified house, Tattershall Castle, was located 4 miles (6 km) to the south. It is a Grade II* Listed Building and a scheduled Ancient Monument. Documentary sources indicate that the tower was partly dismantled in 1472, when bricks from the Tower on the Moor were used for repairs at Tattershall Castle. One of the older roads in Woodhall Spa, Tor-O-Moor Road is named after the tower.
The Kinema in the Woods is located at the centre of the Pinewoods, next to the now derelict Spa Baths and opposite the site of the former Victoria Hotel. Housed in a converted cricket pavilion, it opened in 1922 as one of the first cinemas in Britain. Jubilee Park, opened in 1937, lies adjacent to the Pinewoods and includes Jubilee Park Swimming Pool, a heated outdoor swimming pool.
Woodhall Spa lies at the south western edge of the Central Lincolnshire Vale, between the Rivers Witham and Bain. The village is largely flat rising gently towards the east, and is surrounded towards the north and east by a mixture of ancient and planted woodland. To the south west can be found many sand and gravel excavation pits, some still in use and some abandoned, many of which are now protected nature reserves. To the north west, south and immediately west can be found arable farmland, with the River Witham lying one mile to the west of the village centre and arable fenland beyond that. Much of the land on which the village is built was once extensive heathland with a light fluvial sandy soil. The civil parish of Woodhall Spa borders the civil parishes of Tattershall Thorpe, Timberland, Martin, Stixwould and Woodhall, Roughton, and Kirkby on Bain.

Petwood Hotel - Woodhall Spa
The Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa Lincolnshire.
In the latter stages of the War the Hotel was used as the Officers Mess for the famous Dambusters, 617 Squadron, who were then based at nearby RAF Woodhall Spa.
In the extensive grounds can be found a dummy practice bouncing bomb, as was used in the Dambusters raid.
Inside the hotel, the Squadron Bar is dedicated to 617 Squadron and has memorabilia from the period.
Over the bar there is a branch of a tree. This was found impaled in the fuselage of a Lancaster.
Petwood Hotel, with its magnificent grounds, is now a favourite spot for wedding receptions.

Kinema in the Woods Organ - unedited
Organ playing in the original screen at Kinema in the Woods during a Christmas Frozen sing-a-long in Woodall Spa, Lincolnshire.
Interrupted by some talking.
The organ rises up in the centre of the stage in front of the screen. On the right are bells which seem linked to the organ and can very briefly be heard at the start of the clip.
The cinema is located in woods next to the derelict spa buildings.
Originally the cinema building was a farm building then a concert pavillion and finally a cricket pavillion (before the trees grew?) before becoming a cinema in 1922.
The cinema is unusual (unique in England?) in that the the screen uses rear-projection due lack of height and trusses getting in the way to project from the front. The projector is behind the screen with a mirror which reflects the image onto the screen.
The cinema has a shallow rake with a step after every second row with offset seating.
The organ is played on some Saturday screenings and at select other times.
RAF Woodall Spa just to the south was the home of 617 squadron ('Dambusters') in the second world war.
I have more footage which I will get around to editing together to provide a better overview of the cinema than this...
Day in the life of a Bomber Command Lancaster crew, by Sean Taylor at the Kinema (11.09.13)
Sean Taylor is the Safety Officer and guide at the Aviation Heritage Centre, East Kirkby, Lincolnshire. It is the home to Lancaster Bomber NX611 'Just Jane'. Sean took me on an interior tour of this Lancaster about 3 years ago with Fred Panton's granddaughter Louise Bush. I will never forget his enthusiastic and charismatic approach to sharing his detailed knowledge of the history of Bomber Command and its crewmen.
Sean yet again, never fails to disappoint his audience whether it is one to one, or hundreds. This film footage was taken on my iPhone at the Kinema in The Woods, Woodhall Spa just before the film premier of Bomber Command Veteran Percy Cannings' film, 'Finding The Pathfinders' on Wednesday 11 September 2013.
It details a day in the life of a Bomber Command Lancaster crew and the highs and extreme lows of a combat Operation over Europe. We really can't complain about our average daily stresses compared to what these these courageous young men went through and to whom we owe so much to.
On Wednasday 11 September 2013 (Percy Cannings' birthday) a film called 'Finding The Pathfinders' was launched at the Kinema in the woods, Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire.
The film was made by Percy's daughter Sharon Cannings and her partner Martin Nicholls. It records the emotional journey of Percy Cannings to track down the crew members he served with in RAF Bomber Command during WW2. Attending the launch were family members of Percy's crew that had been tracked down, alongside his many other friends and family members. Sharon and Martin have have made a truly excellent film. With no external funding, they have put together an extraordinary film that will make you laugh and cry. BBC Look North news covered the event and information about the film can be found at the link below.
Percy will be visiting the House of Commons on Wed 9 October 2013 to meet the PM David Cameron. With him will be his daughter Sandy, Chris Keltie and Bomber Command Veterans Jeff Gray and Dennis Bartlett from 61 Squadron. They will present a copy of the book 'Riding In The Shadow Of Death' to the PM to say thank you for his hard work gaining recognition for WW2 Veterans.
Percy's wartime experiences can also be read in the book 'Riding In The Shadow Of Death' by Chris Keltie.
The history of 97 Squadron Pathfinder Force (Percy's Squadron) can also be read in the excellent book by Kevin Bending called 'Achieve Your Aim'.
