Burton Pedwardine is a hamlet and civil parish in the district of North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England. The hamlet is situated approximately south-east from the market town of Sleaford and south-west of the village of Heckington. Burton Pedwardine is named after a Herefordshire family, the Pedwardines, who acquired the hall and manor through marriage about 1330.〔Cox, J. Charles (1916) ''Lincolnshire'' p. 87; Methuen & Co. Ltd〕 The village Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Andrew.〔("Church of St Andrew" ), ''National Heritage List for England'', English Heritage. Retrieved 5 July 2011〕 It was rebuilt by Sir Roger Pedwardine in the early 14th century on a cruciform plan with central tower. The tower collapsed in 1802, and the church was rebuilt. It was again rebuilt in Decorated style in 1870, retaining its original transept from the pre-1802 church. A grille for the exhibition of relics, and a lead effigy of Dame Alice Pedwardine (c.1350), wife of Roger, lie in the east wall. Against the west wall is the tomb of Thomas Horsman (d. 1610), with effigies of Horsman and his wife Mary. The west wall contains decorative Saxon and Norman elements.〔 The parish holds the site of Mareham Grange, which was the property of Sir Thomas Horsman in the late 16th, early 17th century. Earlier it was held by Sempringham Priory. The site may also have been the location of Mareham or Cold Mareham, a lost medieval village.〔("Mareham Grange" ), ''National Monuments Record'', English Heritage.
