    Default Prison baas

    St James' Church in Freiston, Lincolnshire, isn't unique in having a flock of sheep as grasscutters but what might well be unique is that the sheep belong to North Sea Camp, a nearby open prison, and are on loan at the church (Jeffrey Archer is one of their Old Boys) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea_Camp_(HM_Prison)
