NORTH KESTEVEN PARISH #28: NORTH RAUCEBY

North Rauceby – “Rauth’s Farmstead, North”

In the North Kesteven series this week, we’re beginning a brand new area – not only for the channel, but also for me. I’ve never been here before. I’ve opted to move away from Lincoln temporarily and deeper into the heart of Kesteven – and you won’t get much deeper than this. Welcome to the first of a pair of twins, both with the name Rauceby. Rauceby, is in general, a much sought after location, lying as it does in one of the prettiest parts of Lincolnshire.

The beautiful community that is, is made up of two villages, North and South. They are situated about four miles Northwest of Sleaford – the nearest town. This is the Northern version, which is the much smaller of the two, but still has a lot to talk about. North Rauceby is a village of 64 households, and it lies primiarily on one long road between the A17 and its Southern counterpart. Although the smaller, this is the one that contains the church, dedicated to St Peter. It also has the school, but techincally that straddles the boundary between the two. However, North Rauceby can still claim the greater part.

The North’s most well known feature is the RAF Cranwell Heritage and Aviation Museum at Heath Farm – and the village also has a wartime crash memorial on Church Lane. So, consider this part one of a two part series.

Lets go walking!
