Normanton-on-Cliffe, sometimes known as Normanton, is a village and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies on the A607 road, about 7 miles (11 km) north of the town of Grantham and 18 miles (29 km) south of Lincoln.
Historic edifices
[edit]The now redundant parish church dates from the 11th century and is dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Myra. It is a Grade II* listed building in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[1]
The village has an early 19th-century milestone and village pump, which is Grade II listed as a scheduled monument, standing next to the main Grantham to Lincoln road. The inscription on the milestone reads: "From Lincoln 18 miles, from Grantham 7 miles, from London 117 miles".[2][3]
