Caythorpe, Lincolnshire

Caythorpe, Lincolnshire

Caythorpe is a large village in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire north of Grantham on the A607. North of the village is Fulbeck, and south are Normanton and Carlton Scroop.

The nearby Caythorpe Court (to the east of the village) since 1946 was for many years Kesteven Agricultural College (the only south-west Lincolnshire agricultural college, noting how agricultural Lincolnshire is). In 1980, it became part of Lincolnshire College of Agriculture and Horticulture. It was taken over by De Montfort University in 1994, in the hope it would attract wider country interest. When Riseholme Agricultural College (also part of De Montfort) (with which it was linked) was adopted by the new University of Lincoln in October 2001, Caythorpe was subsumed into the new university, though the distance from Lincoln would prove too much to manage for the university's management. Under the regime of the new Lincolnshire School of Agriculture, no longer a satellite college to Leicester, it sadly shut in September 2002.

The village church is St Vincent. The village pub is the Waggon & Horses.

There was once a Caythorpe railway station on the line between Nottingham and Lincoln.
