Swayfield is a village and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated just over east from the A1 road, south-east from Grantham and north from Stamford. It has approximately 138 houses. ==History== A Deserted Medieval Village has been identified nearby, probably the vill of ''Sudwelle''. Traces of earlier settlements in the form of barrow burials have also been suggested. The village is reputed to have been a site for signalling beacons at the time of the Spanish Armada and a modern fire-basket stands in the village, erected for 400th anniversary in 1988. In 1848 the village was described as: "Swayfield (St. Nicholas), a parish, in the union of Bourne, wapentake of Beltisloe, parts of Kesteven, county of Lincoln, 2 miles (S. by W.) from Corby; containing 265 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, valued in the king's books at £11. 2. 11., and in the gift of the Crown; net income, £391. The tithes were commuted for land and corn-rents in 1797". During the Second World War, Swayfield was the site of two dummy airfields, the remains of which can still be seen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swayfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
