Howell is a hamlet in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, approximately north of the A17, east from Sleaford, and north from Heckington. It is in the civil parish of Asgarby and Howell. ==History== In the ''Domesday'' account the village is written as "Hwelle". It consisted of 6 villagers, 14 freemen, 7 smallholders, land for 4 plough teams, a meadow and a priest. In 1066 lordship of the manor of the manor of Sleaford was held by Barthi of Sleaford, being transferred to the Bishop of Lincoln, St Mary’s in 1086.〔("Documents Online: Howell, Lincolnshire" ), Folio: 356r, ''Great Domesday Book''; The National Archives. Retrieved 17 April 2012〕 Neolithic and Bronze Age finds and evidence of a Bronze Age round barrow have been found 1 mile to the north-east. Less than 1 mile to the west of the village is the site of the lost village of Bacton or Boughton, mentioned in 1334, but only indicated by Medieval field patterns. In the village, just under the west face of the present Howell Hall, is evidence of Medieval settlement: rectilinear raised areas bounded by hollow ways that suggest toft or other buildings, and just further to the west, ridge and furrow field systems. Ditch earthworks indicate the possible position of the earlier Howell Hall (the extant is 19th-century) which define a non-moated structure with ornamental, wildfowling and fishing use. Later, the demolished Hall may have been used to construct village houses. 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「Howell, Lincolnshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
