Location

Noted in the Domesday Book of 1086 the former town of Folkingham is now a charming village situated on the A15. Sleaford is about 10 miles to the north and Bourne about 10 miles (15 mins) south, whilst the nearby A52 takes you to Grantham in around 20 minutes (13 miles) where fast trains to London takes about 70 minutes. Peterborough is around a 35 minute drive where trains to King’s Cross take around 45 minutes. The historic city of Lincoln is less than a half hour drive north. The village sits in a wide, rolling landscape and is centred on the large Market Place, remodelled by the Heathcote Family of Normanton, in Rutland. In 1968, in recognition of its importance, this area became one of the first designated conservation areas in Lincolnshire. Today, the New Inn is still open and serves food, there is a village store with a tea room, St. Andrew’s Church is open for worship and a playing field has a children’s play area and a football pitch. A lively village hall is a venue for meetings, groups, clubs and fitness classes. An abundance of footpaths from the village provide a wealth of walks through lovely countryside. Just 3 miles away, Billingborough offers more services including a primary school, so too Osbournby, with school buses passing through Folkingham. For secondary education, there is a wide choice of excellent state schools with Ofsted rated Outstanding Bourne Grammar School nearby and a number of popular econdary schools including Carre’s Grammar School and Kesteven & Sleaford High School (for Girls) in Sleaford.
