Leadenham
Leadenham is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 410. It lies 11 miles (18 km) north of Grantham, 14 miles (23 km) south of Lincoln and 9 miles (14 km) north west of Sleaford the A607 between Welbourn and Fulbeck, and at the southern edge of the Lincoln Cliff.
There is evidence of Bronze Age, Romano-British and Early Medieval occupation.
The name of the village probably comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'Leodan' and 'ham' for "homestead or village of a man called Leoda." It appears in the Domesday Book as "Ledeneham".
Much of the village belonged to the Reeve family whose family seat is still Leadenham House, a Georgian country house built from 1790 for William Reeve.
The Royal Flying Corps airfield to the east was built in 1916, and closed in 1919.
The village boasted a railway station from 1876 to 1965 which was part of the Grantham and Lincoln Railway Line.
In 1995 the village was bypassed to the south by the A17.
Work on the bypass started on Thursday 17 February 1994. It cost £3.3m, being built by May Gurney. The bypass was opened on Friday 10 March 1995 by Douglas Hogg.
