The ParishThe parish of Swaton lies in the central portion of southern Lincolnshire. Swaton lies about 7 miles southeast of the market town of Sleaford in the Lincolnshire Fens. Swaton is a compact village built along the B1394 road which connects Heckington to Bourne and just to the north of the A52 Donington to Grantham road. Swaton is largely a strip of housing along either side of the B road with a westwards extension off that. The area is extremely low lying and extensively used for agriculture, both arable and vegetable growing as well as some market gardening. Swaton is located at a mere 7 metres above sea level, a level which extends for many miles to north and east. Most of the drainage in the parish is man-made and all of it heads eastwards to join the South Forty Foot Drain which heads for the North Sea through Boston. Most of the parishes in this area are very similarly sized as they were often reclaimed from previous swamplands and Swaton is no exception. The parish would have supported around 300 parishioners. In Domesday times Swaton was held three-ways and supported 16 ploughs as well as having extensive meadows. |
