User:ErrantX/Sandbox/Listed buildings in Sleaford, Lincolnshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sleaford is a market town in Lincolnshire, England. During the Roman period it was probably a small farmstead centred on a Roman road running along the fen edge. During 8th Century, Anglo-Saxon England "Eslaforde" was under the control of a man called Bardi.

The earliest surviving remnants of the town date from around 1130, when Sleaford Castle was built. During subsequent centuries the town grew and moved westwards from the site of the castle.
