Little Ponton near Grantham This tiny village on the line of Ermine Street is believed to have been a Roman military station. Now it is a sleepy hamlet with the dull noise of the A1 traffic disturbing the peace.

St.Guthlac's church, Little Ponton, Lincs. An interesting little church without tower or bellcote and lots of Norman work inside that Pevsner thinks may be even earlier.
