Flower Delivery to Heydour with Clare Florist

The hamlet of Heydour is a civil parish located in Lincolnshire, England. This hamlet resides in the South Kesteven district and is about 5 miles away from the town of Sleaford and about 6 miles away from the town of Grantham. Other hamlets in the civil parish include Aisby, Culverthorpe, Kelby, and Oasby. According to a 2001 census, Heydour had a population of 286 people. Ten years later, a 2011 census showed the population of the hamlet was 311 people. This was a mere 25 person increase in just 10 years, which shows the hamlet is likely going to remain small. Back in 1881, Heydour had a population of 363 people and its civil parish had 447 people. So even though the population may have slightly gone up in 2011, there are still fewer people in the hamlet than there were over 100 years ago.

This history of Heydour can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086 which recorded the name of the hamlet as “Heidure.” According to the records in this book, Heydour had 16 acres of woodlands and 80 acres of meadowlands under the rule of Osbournby. If you study the earthwork found in the southern region of Heydour then you will find evidence of medieval houses and quarries which prove the area used to have a medieval village there. In the 12th century, Saint Michael’s Anglican parish church was constructed with a canonical sundial. There were additions made to the church later on in the 17th century which included the chancel, lancet windows, nave and funerary chapel. Many of these features still remain today and continue to make the church a popular tourist attraction.

Some other notable buildings in Heydour include the 17th-century public house “Houblon Arms,” Church Lees Farmhouse, the Heydour House, Oasby Manor House, Manor House Farmhouse and the Folly Cottage.
