Burton Coggles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Burton Coggles (full name Burton-le-Coggles from Byrton-en-les-Coggles) is a small village located south of Grantham in south Lincolnshire, close to the B1176 and the East Coast Main Line. There are 43 houses and the population is little over 100. Until recently the village still retained a post office, but public services are now restricted to the Cholmeley Arms public house (still commonly known as The Hare & Hounds - the house's previous name), and a small village hall. Local services are found in Corby Glen. The village is mainly an agriculture village, but there has been a shift in recent years towards more commuting, with many people working in nearby towns.

The church is St Thomas a Becket. William Ayscough, the Trinity College-educated brother of Hannah Ayscough, was the rector of the village church in the 1600s.
