A OGG

College Farm is on the site of a Benedictine Priory founded in AD1052 as a dependant house of Spalding Priory. This small monastic establishment consisted of three monks, a chaplain and a prior, but did not last beyond 1220. In the 1960’s when a paddock at the farm was ploughed for the first time, areas of clay floors and scatters of tile and building stone were exposed. It was also reported that a kiln had been discovered and partially levelled. Medieval pottery with a date range from the 13th to 16th centuries was recorded on the site. It is likely therefore, that any below ground construction works in this area will encounter further archaeological deposits associated with the priory and later medieval occupation, and there is also the potential that burial could be present in this area.

We are a working farm located in a rural picturesque setting on the edge of North Lincolnshire. The village of Alkborough has views overlooking the confluence of the rivers Ouse, Trent, and Humber. It offers scenic walks, a peaceful retreat and plenty of history. We are within easy reach of the M62 and M180 and less than an hour away from the historical City of Lincoln and only 20 minutes away from the shopping centres of Scunthorpe and Hull.

Our facilities include; a level, well maintained site complete with hardstandings, chemical waste disposal conveniently and discreetly situated onsite, fresh water, electric hook up’s for five vans and battery recharging facilities if required. We have our own recycling centre with separate bins for glass, paper and plastics as we all like to do our bit for the environment.

We have a five acre grass field situated at the rear of the farmyard which is predominantly used for grazing cattle. This is also used for caravan rallies and has no electric hook up but does have access to fresh drinking water. The site caters for all parties regardless of size.
