Welcome to Carlton Scroop

Carlton Scroop is a small village located in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The village is situated on the A607 road, which connects Grantham to Lincoln. The village has a population of around 200 people and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic church, St. Nicholas Church, which dates back to the 12th century.

The village of Carlton Scroop has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as "Carletone". The village was once home to a castle, which was built in the 12th century but was destroyed during the English Civil War. Today, the only remains of the castle are the earthworks that can be seen in the surrounding fields.

Despite its small size, Carlton Scroop has a strong sense of community. The village has a village hall, which is used for a variety of events and activities, including a weekly coffee morning. The village also has a pub, The Red Lion, which serves traditional pub food and real ale. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, which is popular with walkers and cyclists.
