Parish History[edit | edit source]

WILSFORD (St. Mary), a parish in the union of Sleaford, wapentake of Flaxwell, parts of Kesteven, county of Lincoln, 4½ miles (W. S. W.) from Sleaford. [1]

Wilsford St Mary the Virgin is an Ancient Parish which includes Hanbeck.

The hamlet and civil parish of Wilsford is close to Ancaster, Lincolnshire Genealogy and a deserted mediaeval village lies between them.

The church retains part of the Saxon building but was built substantially in the Norman period and has undergone renovation in subsequent centuries including Victorian renovation in 1860-1861 and again ten years later.

There is no remaining trace of the Priory founded at Wilsford.
