This settlement has Anglo-Saxon roots. The origin of the name is uncertain. It perhaps stems from an Old Scandinavian first name or the Viking word for "ravine". However, its widely accepted locally that it means "where the marigolds grow", as it was referred to in Henry Thorold's guide to the redundant St George's Church.
No surprises there’s yet another Lincolnshire Limewood to have a look at in Cocklode and Great West Wood and there are three listed buildings here with a walk you can take, passing two of them. One of them is a Hall which was the ancestral seat of the Grantham family. Sir Thomas Grantham was Sheriff of Lincoln in 1600 and MP for Lincolnshire from 1621 to 1622.
St George's sits all alone in a field. It was founded about 1640, with alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries and it was badly damaged in a fire in 2013. St George’s Church is the only remaining structure from a medieval village that once stood here. In the 14th century, the Black Death caused the abandonment of the rest of the settlement.
In all this is a fabulously interesting slice of West Lindsey which probably holds much more than I’ve covered, and it’s well worth a visit. Unfortunately, its an area that a lot of people just drive past on the A158. Not me though. I give this one the full TVI treatment.
