Willingham by Stow, which was mentioned in the Domesday book, is six miles south of Gainsborough and twelve miles north of Lincoln. It has always been a mainly arable farming community with twenty farmers working the land in the late 19th century compared with just a handful now. St.Helen's church dates from the 11th century with registers that document events as far back as 1562 . The Methodist Chapel on High Street (No longer a place of worship) was built in 1885. There have been many business's in the village over the years but now there are two pubs, The Half Moon and The Fox and Hounds, plus the Howson Care Centre which is situated on Marton Lane. Lord Hawke was born in Willingham Rectory (1860).

It was planned that a Parish walk would take place this weekend (June 20th) involving a walk around the seven churches, a distance of about 55km (34 miles). Due to the current restrictions it is now being undertaken by just two members of the church, Paul Cragg and Mike Seddon. Paul will set off and follow the timetable seen here, while Mike has decided to take it on in two legs. He set off this morning (19th) for the first leg and will join Paul for his second leg tomorrow. Please feel free to join them for part of their walk or even sponsor them using the details here.

Carole Hicking has been making masks for her family and they turned out so well that she would now like to offer her services to our village.
There is a pouch inside so that a filter can be used (some people use coffee filters and slot them in which does the job). The soft elastic has a toggle so it is adjustable on the head rather than pulling on ears, which can be annoying for spectacle wearers.
Adult sizes would be £4.50 with two children’s sizes available; 4-8 years and 8-12 years at £2.50. If you have two you could wash one while wearing the other.
Profit from the sales will be donated to good causes within the village

Unfortunately we have had to postpone the planned picnic and music on the playing field (June 27th).
We will announce a new date for the future when we can.

Here's a selection of photos taken on VE Day 2020 in the village.

The Half Moon quiz night is virtual. Thursdays, 20:30, on Skype. Anyone who wants to take part should email halfmoonquiznight@gmail.com with their team name. I'll email a Skype link out shortly before the start time, and we'll use emails during the evening. We're doing this on trust; teams mark their own papers, and no using the internet to get the answers! There's no entry fee, no prizes, no crisps for last place, and bring your own beer. :)

The virtual Half Moon lounge will be open Sunday afternoons from 16:00, on Skype. Email halfmoonsundayclub@gmail.com and I'll send a Skype link out shortly before opening time. If anyone wants to open the virtual lounge (or bar) at another time, let me know.
