However, a plaque outside the recently opened Costa Coffee outlet in the Market Place has disappeared.

In a tweet, Horncastle History and Heritage Society has asked what has happened to the plaque.

They say it was put up by the Society and was part of a town trail around a conservation area.

They add the plaque was included in planning documents relating to the conversion of the building from a hardware store to a Costa outlet.

The matter was discussed by members of the Horncastle Together group who reported it to ELDC.

In a tweet, ELDC say they have handed the disappearance on to their planning enforcement department.
