Background
History
The village name means Haakon's village. The village church is dedicated to St Andrew. On 27 February 2008 the parish church spire was damaged by the 2008 Lincolnshire earthquake. A former railway line passed north to south close to the east of the village – the Sleaford branch of the Great Northern Railway, which closed to passengers in 1930 and to freight in 1964. A Roman road, King Street, (from Bourne to just south of Ancaster) passes through the western part of the parish, just west of Stainfield. There was an Iron Age or Roman town near Stainfield. Stainfield Spa, 1.5 mi to the west of the village, is a chalybeate spring discovered in 1720 by Edward Greathead of Lincoln.
