Sleaford, in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, had a population of around 19,800 at the 2021 census — the most populous parish in its district, and a town shaped by its river and its grain trade.
A grain town built around its mill
Sleaford grew up as a market town serving the rich arable land of Kesteven, and for centuries that trade in grain has been tied to the River Slea. Cogglesford Mill, a working watermill on the river at the edge of town, has stood in some form since at least the medieval period, with the current building dating largely from the 18th and 19th centuries; restored and now open to visitors, it's one of the last working watermills left in Lincolnshire.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Sleaford's market square and surrounding streets serve a genuinely agricultural hinterland, but the town doesn't have a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines.
