Brothertoft

Brothertoft is a village in Lincolnshire, England.

The Parish Church was built around 1847 and is dedicated to St Gilbert of Sempringham. Decorated with dark wood and a rich blue carpet, it has a small bell tower. The oldest stones in the churchyard were pulled up in recent years, and lined along the path, to make way for a car park which now stands to the North side of the church. The graveyard is almost full and expected to be closed once it is.

Next to the church is the impressive Georgian Hall, owned currently by Mr Peter Robinson. It was built in the early 19th Century, and it's occupants have been well documented. In the early Census years, the residents were Thomas Gee, a banker and farmer, and his wife Ann. Later it was owned by Frederick Curtois, and by 1901 it was occupied by Henry Peart.

The Parish Hall stands at the entrance to the field which encloses the church. It was built by Mr Gee as a school, which had become only a Sunday school by 1909 and eventually closed. Children were then schooled at Hedgehog Bridge School.

In the late 1920s, council houses were built on land at Brothertoft.
