Metheringham, Lincolnshire

Flower Delivery to Methering with Clare Florist

Located in the North Kesteven District in the Lincolnshire area, Metheringham is a modest-size village of roughly 3,605 residents. It is about 10 miles north of Sleaford and 9 miles south of Lincoln which places it almost in the middle of Lincolnshire.

History

The founding of the village must have occurred before the Domesday Book of 1086 as it was listed as being of Saxon origin. The name of the village seems to be a corruption of Medrichesham or the homestead of Medrich. Although seemingly in existence for hundreds of years, the earliest surviving document that references the village itself with a date was on June 24th, 1314 which was during the reign of Edward II.

A fire consumed virtually all the village in July 1599 as it appears to start in a gully that ran the length of the town. The village was slowly rebuilt and new additions made which included a replacement for an ancient cross, the drying of an old spring that helped with drainage during floods, the construction of Wesleyan Chapel in 1840, and a school a year later.

Over time the village grew little by little and eventually contributed 42 of its residents who died during World War I and 8 who died during World War II. Since then, the village has continued to grow, although it does maintain its peaceful, idyllic presence that is loved by those who live here and its location means that much of the public transportation in Lincolnshire passes through the community.

Features

Metheringham or “Meg” as the town is known to the locals sports a primary school, co-op store, butcher’s shop, and café which is typical of many similarly-sized towns in the region. There are four public houses in the village and there is bus service that runs seven days a week through the area. The train runs Monday through Saturday to the surrounding communities which makes public transportation viable for those living and working in the area.

There are no major attractions to speak of, but there is a notable history and the village itself is hundreds of years old which makes it the perfect place to spend a few hours while traveling to other locations. You can almost feel the history of the area when walking through the streets and seeing the old shops, houses, and buildings that make up the community.
