Rowston is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, situated approximately 6 miles (10 km) north from the town of Sleaford. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 178. [1]
In the 1086 Domesday Book Rowston is recorded as "Rowstune", with 34 households. [2]
The limestone parish church is a Grade I listed building dedicated to Saint Clement and dates from the 12th century. Anglo-Saxon decorated stonework has been re-used in the south chancel wall. It was refitted in 1741 and restored 1904–10. There is a 15th-century font, and over a doorway in the tower a 12th-century tympanum decorated with a cross and other motifs. [3] [4]
A restored village cross stands on the green near the church and is both Grade II listed [5] and a scheduled monument. [6] It was restored in 1910 retaining the top step, base and shaft of the 15th-century original. [7]
Rowston Manor is a Grade II* listed limestone house dating from 1741 with an addition in 1985. [8]
A previous National school built here of red brick in 1852, is a Grade II listed building. [9]
