Listed buildings in Sleaford

Sleaford – historically called New Sleaford – is a market town in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England.^[1][2][3] There are 181 listed buildings in the civil parish of Sleaford, which, along with the town, incorporates the village of Quarrington, the hamlet of Holdingham and the former ancient parish of Old Sleaford.^{[n 1]} One of the buildings is classified by Historic England as being in Grade I, six in Grade II* and 174 in Grade II.

In the United Kingdom, the term "listed building" refers to a building or other structure officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. These buildings are in three grades: Grade I consists of buildings of outstanding architectural or historical interest; Grade II* includes particularly significant buildings of more than local interest; Grade II consists of buildings of special architectural or historical interest. Buildings in England are listed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on recommendations provided by Historic England, which also determines the grading.^[6]

A small number of Sleaford's medieval buildings have survived. St Denys' Church in Sleaford and St Botolph's in Quarrington date to the 12th and 13th centuries respectively; considered a particularly fine example of England's Decorated Gothic church architecture,^[7] St Denys' is especially noted for its flowing tracery and is Sleaford's only Grade-I-listed building. The half-timbered vicarage immediately to the north is 15th-century and Grade-II*-listed. Though the present building dates to the 18th century, Cogglesford Mill also has medieval origins and is the only remaining watermill of the dozen or so which were once powered by the River Slea; it is a testament to the river's economic importance from the Saxon period onwards.^[8] It is likely that a market was held at Sleaford during the late Saxon period, but it grew under its post-conquest lords of the manor, the Bishops of Lincoln, who used the settlement as a base (constructing Sleaford Castle, of which only a fragment now survives) and extracted produce through demesne farming. The bishops also tried to create some commercial growth through granting burgage tenure, limited freedoms and the right to hold a market, so that they could generate an income through charging rents, levying tolls and taxing market traders.^[9] As a result, the town's historic core comprises the market place and the four roads which meet at it: Northgate, Southgate, Eastgate and Westgate; many of the listed buildings are found in this area.

Buildings in this core often date to the 18th and 19th centuries and include William Alvey's fine Baroque house on Northgate,^[10] the Manor House on Northgate inset with medieval fragments, and Sessions House on the Market Place, as well as several dozen more modest domestic buildings and shops. The Carre family, who owned the manor in the 16th and 17th centuries,^[11] were responsible for the grammar school, the hospital and the almshouses, though the buildings all date to the Victorian period. During the Industrial Revolution, the Slea was canalised in 1794 and the Sleaford Navigation which managed it constructed its offices along Carre Street where the canal terminated; industries and wharves sprung up there.^[12] The canal brought trade to Sleaford and the town prospered.^[13] The 19th-century builders Kirk and Parry constructed or added to numerous public buildings and private residences, including the listed Lafford Terrace and their own houses on Southgate and at Westholme respectively, while the new gasworks powered lamps around the town from 1839. In 1857, the railways arrived and the station was built in a Gothic style. Sleaford's agricultural location and its new transport links encouraged seed trading, malting and other agriculture-related industry in the late 19th century:^[13][14] the seed merchant Charles Sharpe's Grade-II-listed house, The Pines, is on Boston Road, while the massive disused Edwardian Bass and Co. maltings off Mareham Lane is listed as Grade II*. In the late 20th century, Sleaford's urban area expanded to incorporate the surrounding villages of Quarrington and Holdingham.^[15] None of the modern suburban housing built at this time has been listed, but the historic cores of those settlements include several listed farmhouses and cottages. Old Place, the much-modified former manor house at the former settlement of Old Sleaford, now also sits within the town's urban area.

Listed buildings in Sleaford

Name	Location	Image	Grade	Date	Description	Ref.
Parish Church of St Denys	Market Place TF 06883 45893		I	c. 1180 (tower), with later medieval nave, aisles and transept, and Victorian alterations and spire	There has probably been a church in Sleaford since at least the Norman Conquest,[16] but the oldest parts of St Denys' Church date to c. 1180. It consists of an Early English Gothic tower, with a stone broach spire, a Decorated Gothic nave and aisles, and a north transept. Kirk and Parry restored the church in 1853 and the spire was rebuilt after it was struck by lightning in 1883. The rood screen is medieval and was removed from Lincoln Cathedral.[17] St Denys' is considered to be an outstanding example of Decorated Gothic church architecture in England,[7] with its tracery being especially praised.[18]	[17]
Carre's Hospital, pump and sun-dial in the forecourt and wall along Carre Street	Eastgate TF 06917 45851		II*	1830, with an extension of 1861	The L-shaped Carre's Hospital is built on the site of the Carre family's house. Designed by H. E. Kendall, the east range of 1830 spans nine windows; the south range, completed between 1841 and 1846[19] (possibly by Charles Kirk[20]) spans seven windows and has a large central chapel and a Perpendicular Gothic window overlooking the courtyard.[19] There is a front lawn with a sundial and water pump.[20]	[19]
Church of St Botolph	Town Road, Quarrington TF 05411 44468		II*	13th century, with later medieval and 19th century fabric	A church at Quarrington is recorded in the Domesday Book;[21] however, the 13th-century north arcade is the oldest part of the existing church. Its tower and spire date to the next century and St Botolph's listing reflects the "excellent" 14th-century tracery in two of its windows. The chancel was rebuilt when Charles Kirk restored the church in 1862−3.[22]	[22]
Former maltings of Bass Industrial Estate	Mareham Lane TF 07444 45255		II*	1907	Local barley production and the town's railway links made Sleaford desirable for brewing beer. Bass & Co. constructed the maltings in brick between 1892 and 1907. They comprise eight separate pavilions with a four-storey tower in the centre; the total frontage is nearly 1,000 ft.[23] Pevsner and colleagues commented that "for sheer impressiveness little in English industrial architecture can equal the scale of this building."[24] The maltings at Sleaford closed in 1959, though parts of the building were let for other uses. Vacant since 2000, the site has been damaged by fire on several occasions[23] and is listed among English Heritage's most "at risk" buildings.[25][26]	[23]
Manor House, Rhodes House, wall and gate piers to cobbled yard and garden wall to no. 33	Northgate TF 06768 46001		II*	16th century, with much 19th century modification (No 31); mid 18th century (No 33)	Set back from the street and entered across a courtyard, the Manor House is largely 19th-century Gothic, but attached to part of a 16th- or 17th-century building.[27] The architectural historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner and colleagues considered it a "jigsaw puzzle",[28] for it incorporates medieval stonework, including a 14th-century chimney piece from the Old Deanery in Lincoln and masonry from Sleaford Castle, as well as early modern stonework.[27][28] It is thought that Charles Kirk may have been responsible for much of this.[28] It is, in Pevsner et al's view, "hard to discriminate between what is genuine and what is 19th-century fancy".[28] The adjoining Georgian Rhodes House is brick-built and faces onto Northgate.[27]	[27]
Town Hall (Sessions House)	Market Place TF 06795 45870		II*	1831	Designed by H. E. Kendall, the Gothic Revival Sessions House has two storeys topped with an embattled parapet. Facing onto the Market Place, the ground level is arcaded with six pointed arches; the first floor has six windows.[29] The building served as the magistrates court for the Sleaford area (formerly the Sleaford Petty Sessions) until 2010.[30] It was converted to a restaurant in 2010.[31] It had also served as the meeting place of Kesteven County Council from 1889 to 1960 and for the town's urban district council from 1894 to 1911.[32]	[33]
Vicarage	Market Place TF 06868 45924		II*	15th century	A two-storey timber-framed building, the Vicarage is 15th-century, with a late 16th-century chimney-piece and a brick extension of 1861 by Charles Kirk. The ground floor of the earlier wing is rendered; the first floor is half-timbered and contains a central bay window beneath a large gable with timber jetties.	[34]
Garden House at The Pines	Boston Road TF 07112 45598		II	c. 1880	A hexagonal, wooden-panelled garden house at the Pines on Boston Road, a house owned by the seed merchant Charles Sharpe in the late 19th century. The exterior and interior are decorated with split branches, and the windows are stained glass.	[35]
Old Place. Garden wall to the south of Old Place	Boston Road TF 07597 45878		II	1530s with much from the early to mid 19th century	Old Place contains a Tudor stone core, dating mostly to the 1530s, but altered and with a brick second floor added probably in the early 1820s.[36] There are extensive 19th-century Gothic additions. Its eastern wings date to the early Victorian period (having been completed by 1849) and its northern extension was built between 1888 and 1903.[37] Its garden wall is built from medieval stone fragments.[38] The house occupies the site of the manor house at Old Sleaford, owned by the Hussey family from the 15th century to the early 16th century, when the Carre family took over the estate (it passed into the hands of the Earls, later Marquesses, of Bristol in 1688). It became a farm house during the Carre family's ownership,[39] but was converted into multiple residences in the late 1940s and renovated in the 1980s by the builders Jelson and Co.[40]	[38]
The Pines and attached former warehouse and offices	Boston Road TF 07059 45574		II	c. 1830 and later	The site was developed by John Sharpe, a seedsman, in the 1830s, then enlarged by his son, Charles, fifty years later. The house is in yellow brick with stone decorations. Of two storeys and spanning five bays, the east front has a central tower with doors fitted between two pairs of Doric pilasters. The 13-bay former warehouse is attached to the south.	[41]

Former office building in centre of yard formerly occupied by Hubbard and Phillips Ltd.	Carre Street TF 06930 45805		II	Mid 19th century	A stone two-storey building in the Tudor style, it is believed to have housed the offices of the Sleaford Navigation company and bears a carved rendition of that company's armorial bearings above the doorway.[52] Pevsner and colleagues call it Navigation House and date it to 1838–39.[20] According to the local historians Anthony Brand and Simon Pawley, it was built in 1838 by Bothewary and Brewin, of Grantham, probably to a design by Charles Kirk.[53]	[52]
Sleaford Castle	Castle Causeway TF 06514 45626		II	1123 to 1139 (mostly ruined)	The only surviving part of the castle is a small section of masonry. Constructed by Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, it was double-moated.[54] Thought to have been built between 1123 and 1139, Sleaford Castle remained in a good state of repair into at least the 1530s, but was ruined by the 17th-century. Its earthworks remain visible.[29]	[54]

The building is made of a mix of limestone rubble and brick. The west front has a door, windows and a sliding entrance leading to the loft, while the southern side has a brick arch. There is a 19th-century shed attached to the north, a stepped mill race with brick walls to the south, and a brick footbridge to the west.	[60]
Entrance to Gas Works	Eastgate TF 07567 46262		II	1839	The Sleaford Gas Light Company was founded in 1838 and its gas works opened the following year. Probably designed by H. E. Kendall, the entrance is in stone and has two two-storey gabled pavilions at its ends connected by lower two-storey links to a central archway with buttresses and a crow-stepped gable.[61] The buildings were extended to the rear in the 1890s, but these additions were demolished in 1966–1968 after gas production ceased at Sleaford.[62]	[61]
Lafford Terrace	Eastgate TF 07097 45919		II	1856	This Italianate yellow brick and stone terrace was built by Kirk and Parry in 1856. It has one three-storey pavilion in the centre and two at each end connected by two-storey links.[63] Although initially residential, the leases to all but one of the apartments were purchased by Kesteven County Council (KCC) in 1925 and developed into their offices; the final lease was acquired in the late 1930s. After KCC's abolition in 1974, it was transferred to the newly established North Kesteven District Council, serving as its offices thereafter and, after a major extension in 1991, becoming its sole office building and host to its council chamber.[64]	[63]
Lock to the south of Cogglesford Mill Farm	Eastgate TF 07461 46122		II	Late 18th century	Made of brick with some 20th-century concrete additions, this lock incorporates stone gate recesses, although the gates have been removed.	[65]

There is a central gable between six dormer windows. Each of the six entrance doors are paired and the windows are mullioned.[105] In conjunction with Lafford Terrace, Pevsner and his colleagues note that Kingston Terrace and some of the surrounding mid-19th century buildings give "this part of the town... the comfortable and prosperous air of a mid-19th-century spa town".[20]	[105]

A later occupant, William Bates, is thought to have named it Lindum House in c. 1870. It was home to Sleaford's Post Office from 1897 to 1933, continuing to host the telephone exchange until 1967.[178]	[179]

—	54 Westgate TF 06569 45842		II	1825[269]	A playhouse, this coursed-stone, two-storey building dates to the early 19th century. It has a Welsh slate roof. On the first floor, there are two windows to the front of the building and four to the side.[270] Travelling actors are known to have performed in Sleaford in the late 18th century and eventually put on regular shows. In 1825, the comedian Joseph Smedley built this playhouse, though performances were limited to a few weeks a year and the building was let for storage for the rest of the time. Smedley's retirement in 1841 was followed by a period of declining fortunes for the theatre (possibly connected to Westgate's development as a slum district). It closed in 1855, after which Kirk and Parry converted the building into Sleaford's National School (opened in 1856); the now-demolished Corn Exchange opposite the Market Place (which opened in the 1850s) became host to the town's theatrical productions.[269] The school, catering for infants, eventually closed and the building served as a library and an office building. In 1994, it was purchased by Sleaford Little Theatre, who converted it for use as a theatre. Having reopened in 2000, it continues to host regular productions.[271]	[270]
