About

Metheringham, Nocton and Potterhanworth occupy adjoining parishes in North Kesteven, set on a mix of arable farmland, low fen and pockets of woodland. The layout is a string of villages, lanes and field boundaries that reflect long agricultural use. Metheringham is known locally for the wartime airfield at RAF Metheringham, where a memorial and airfield remains mark the role the site played in the 1940s. Drainage channels and drains run through parts of the landscape, defining the transition between higher ground and the fen hollows to the east.

Potterhanworth contains a well‑established ancient wood, Potterhanworth Wood, designated for its ecological interest and traditional coppice structure. Nocton sits amid estate parkland and farmland with lanes linking farmsteads and the village centre. Local paths and bridleways give access to woodland rides and field margins used for winter stubble and spring planting. The area is primarily agricultural but includes concentrations of wildlife where woodland, wet drains and hedgerows meet, and small community facilities serve the three parishes.
