Melton Ross

Melton Ross is a small village in North Lincolnshire, separated from New Barnetby by a railway line and level crossing.

[1] Traffic through the village increased with the opening of Humberside Airport, former RAF Kirmington, one mile to the east in 1974.

The de Ros family had a stronghold in the village, the mound of which can still be seen in what is now a farmer's field.

The disagreements continued, and some 200 years later James I erected gallows at a point close to the village, ordering that any deaths from the feud be treated as murder.

The Methodist chapel has been converted into holiday homes, but the Church of The Ascension still stands.
