As you drive into the Lincolnshirecountryside, Folkingham is eightmiles north of Bourne. Theundulating countryside eventuallygives way to a magnificent view of the village on the far hillside,dominated by the tower of thehistoric church and the magnificentfaçade of The Greyhound.

The Greyhound is situated in themarket place. Dating back to 1611,it sprang to prominence during the18th century when the village ofFolkingham became a key stagingpost on the Lincoln to Londonstagecoach route.

When Sir Gilbert Heathcote wasreforming Folkingham, he investeda huge amount of money in

rebuilding The Greyhound, creatingthe present imposing frontage. Itbecame one of the main stoppingposts for coachmen travellingbetween Lincoln and London. The building is Grade II* listed andlies at the heart of the FolkinghamConservation Area.

The A15 cuts through the squareand rises to the north where TheGreyhound commands the vista.The building has a red brickfrontage with stone dressings anda Collyweston slate roof.

Buildings generally of the C17, C18 and C19 enclose the MarketSquare and were formerly shopsand public houses but most arenow residential.

The village owes its origin to themeeting place of traders, farmers,huntsmen, robbers and pedlars. Thename ‘Folkingham’ (or ‘Falkingham’,as the village was originally known)comes from the doomsday bookbeing Folchingeham and is said to derive from the word Folch or Falx meaning a sickle.

The village lies on the A15 road.Within the village you'll find severalhistorical buildings such as theHouse of Corrections. In the early19th Century, Folkingham was partof Quarter Sessions, the highercourt that dispensed justice for the area, which is why the Houseof Correction, or prison, was built.The present building dates back

to 1808 and replaced an earlier one that stood in the villageMarket Place, and consists of theoriginal 19th century gateway andgovernor's house.

It was taken over in recent years by the Landmark Trust. Theytransferred the House of Correctioninto a luxury holiday home withalmost an acre of land that hasbecome a desired stopping placewith visitors.

Today the local economy is stillmainly rurally-based, revolvingaround agriculture, but there arealso important tourism activitiessuch as the several publicfootpaths that pass through.

THE PROJECTTaylor Developments has created a scheme to provide 10 luxuryapartments incorporating andrespecting the period features.

A major feature of the scheme isthat there will be no change to the appearance of the main frontelevation of the building whichdominates the market square. Theonly visible works will be the repairof the Collyweston slate roof, thesash windows, the removal of theword ‘inn’ from the façadelettering, the removal of the pubsign and the very gentle cleaningof the stonework. All of these

works will enhance the externalappearance of the building.

The only other alterations to thebuilding are extremely minor.Internally, great care has beentaken to retain the key roomswithout subdivision and to repairand retain features such asfireplaces, cornices, dados, historicstaircases, window shutters andother features. Similar care hasbeen taken to ensure that doors (of architectural interest) can be retained unaltered, or moved to less sensitive locations withinthe building.
