Welcome to all our new followers!
Another one to follow is The Bourne History Guy who created the fabulous model of Sleaford Castle currently on display in the window of Sleaford Museum. He followed his progress during the make with fascinating vlogs which are all on his pages.

If you’re passing Castlefield this week, it’s worth popping in to see the new Welcome board which has been erected - the last of the information boards created by the Civic Trust SCHG working group.
Thanks to Sleaford Town Council and also for the 2 new picnic benches - may not be quite the weather for picnics yet, but hopefully it won’t be too much longer!
It’s interesting to see how much water is in the moat too - indicative of just how much rain has fallen in recent weeks.
Work by STC to improve the entrance to the site is well into the planning stage and hopefully (if the weather behaves) that will be completed in the next few months.

Great progress in Castlefield! These photographs show the completed path and also the installation of our information boards about the history of Sleaford Castle. SCHG are delighted to see this work in place and thank both STC and Carre Heritage.

It’s all looking good….!👍🏻😊

It won’t be long until the path is finished around Sleaford’s beautiful Castlefield. It’s the site of Sleaford’s Norman castle, which is no more than a small ruin now, but it still teems with history — and wildlife. The path around the perimeter will help people explore the site without stumbling over the many hillocks and unexpected dips.

Huge thanks to Sleaford Town Council Sleaford Castle Heritage Group and North Kesteven District Council. 👏👏👏

Mark will lead the 3rd and final guided walk (RiverLight/Museum/NK walking festival) on Friday 20th June at 2pm - meet in the Market Place at St Denys’ Church. This walk will follow the route of visitors to meet Alexander, the Bishop of Lincoln, in Sleaford Castle.
The walk will end at the Museum to view the superb model of the Castle and the exhibition boards which are currently on display.
