The ParishThe parish of Stragglethorpe lies in southwestern Lincolnshire just a short distance from its border with neighbouring Nottinghamshire. Stragglethorpe is located roughly 8 miles east of the Nottinghamshire town of Newark upon Trent and sits a mile south of the busy A17 road which connects Newark with Sleaford. Stragglethorpe is a small village with most properties tucked away inside a loop of the kane which leads south from the A17, the village has few facilities having lost its shops and inns over the years and was never significantly larger. A typical arable farming parish, Stragglethorpe sits on the heavier soils of the Jurassic clays, the landscape is dominated by cereal fields. Stragglethorpe is drained northwards by small tributaries of the River Brant which joins the Witham to the south of Lincoln with the latter reaching the North Sea through the port of Boston. Stragglethorpe is sited at just 15 metres above the sea and sits on something of a plain below the limestone escarpment which rises to just over 100 metres some 3 miles to the east. Even by Lincolnshire standards Stragglethorpe was a small parish, its acreage barely reach 700 acres and it would have supported fewer than 100 parishioners. Stragglethorpe is not specifically mentioned in Domesday Book. |
