Barholm

Barholm is a village in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is west from the A15 road, and south from Bourne.

Barholm is first recorded as "Berc(a)ham" in 1086; the name is from Old English beorg + hām or hamm and means "homestead or enclosure on a hill."

Hereward (later known as Hereward the Wake) owned land in Barholm and the nearby village of Stow in the period before the Norman conquest in 1066.

The church received a new tower during the English Civil War and an inscription reads:

"Was ever such a thing
Since the Creation?
A new steeple built
In the time of vexation."
