Burton Pedwardine is a village and a parish just 5 miles south-east of Sleaford. Heckington parish is to the east and Scredington parish to the south. The parish covers just under 1,900 acres.
The village is little more than a hamlet today. If you are planning a visit:
- The village lies about a mile and a half south of Asgarby off of the A17 trunk road.
- Check our touring page for more sources.
- There is the base and shaft of a 15th century cross about two miles west of the village, between the railway line and the Roman King Street. Mareham Grange used to stand near the cross, so the road is called Mareham Lane.
- Mareham Hall appears to have been abandoned some time prior to 1911.
- The national grid reference is TF 1142.
- You'll want an Ordnance Survey Explorer #248 map, which has a scale of 2.5 inches to the mile.
- See our Maps page for additional resources.
