Walcot is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies west from the A15, south from Sleaford, east from Grantham, and 1 mile north from Folkingham. ==History== Walcot is a probable site of prehistoric or Roman settlement. Earthworks indicating rectilinear ditched enclosures and a circular dwelling have been found, evidenced through crop marks and aerial photographs. Medieval ridge and furrow field systems have also been recorded. In the ''Domesday'' account the village is written as “Walecote”. In 1086 it consisted of 6 villagers, 14 freemen and 5 smallholders, land for 6 plough teams, a meadow and a church. In 1066 lordship of the manor was held by the Abbey of St Peter, Peterborough, being transferred to Gilbert de Ghent in 1086.〔(Baron Gilbert de Ghent ); Ournorthernroots.com.
