Hougham

Hougham is a village in Lincolnshire, 5 miles from Grantham.

The correct pronunciation is "Hoffam".

It is separated from Marston by the River Witham, over which there is a picturesque old bridge.

All Saints Church dates from the mediaeval period, and has a secret air about it, being at the end of a lane, unsignposted from the main road.

The Manor is also unsigned, at the end of another lane. Its land contains a mediaeval moated site.

The spacious village green, beside the main road, is largely hidden by tree planting.
