Hall Water Reservoir, located in Lincolnshire, is a man-made lake that serves multiple purposes for the local community. Covering an area of approximately 50 hectares, the reservoir was created in the mid-20th century by damming a small river. It is primarily used as a freshwater storage facility, supplying water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial needs in the surrounding areas.

The reservoir is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, with its calm waters reflecting the nearby rolling hills and lush greenery. It has become a popular spot for outdoor activities, such as fishing and birdwatching. Anglers are drawn to the reservoir due to its abundant fish population, which includes species like pike, perch, and roach. The tranquil atmosphere and scenic views also make it an ideal location for nature enthusiasts and photographers.

In addition to its recreational value, Hall Water Reservoir plays a crucial role in maintaining the local ecosystem. It provides a habitat for various bird species, including ducks, swans, and herons. These birds can often be seen gliding gracefully across the water or nesting along the reservoir's edges. The surrounding area features a freshwater marsh, which further enhances the biodiversity of the site. This marshland supports a diverse range of plant and animal life, including reeds, water lilies, frogs, and dragonflies.

Overall, Hall Water Reservoir serves as a vital water resource for the region while also offering a tranquil and scenic environment for outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife alike.

St Gregory's church, Fledborough The church comprises a nave and south porch, north and south aisles, chancel, and west tower. The earliest (12th century) fabric belongs to the lowest stage of the tower , the upper stage being Early English. The nave and aisles date from the 13th century with later additions including a 14th century clerestory; the chancel was virtually completely rebuilt in 1890.

Inside the aisle arcades on both sides are 13th century Early English work. Although the aisles date from this period, the windows are later, 15th century insertions in Perpendicular style. The clerestory is 14th century Decorated. In the late 18th century the chancel was in ruins and rebuilt on a smaller scale, and further rebuilt in the 19th century when it was extended again. Until the 18th century there was a chantry chapel at the east end of the south aisle, the blocked archway to which is still evident.

The interior also has a number of interesting fittings and features. Of particular interest are the remains of an Easter Sepulchre, probably 14th century work, reinstated in the north wall of the chancel when this was rebuilt in the 19th century. The main surviving panel depicts the soldiers sleeping at the tomb. 

A tomb recess in the north wall of the north aisle with a tomb slab with foliate cross is believed to be that of Hugo of Normanton, rector of Fledborough 1287-1318. There is a plain octagonal font, thought also to be 14th century. In the north aisle can be found two stone effigies of a knight and a lady. Both are 14th century and are thought to represent Sir John de Lisieux and Dame Clemence de Lisieux. He was probably responsible for the 14th century expansion of the church. The effigies would originally have been in the south aisle chantry chapel. A poor box carved from a single piece of oak stands inside the south door with the inscription 'REMEMBER THE POORE 1684'.

The church is fortunate in possessing some fine examples of 14th century stained glass. Most noteworthy is the east window of the north aisle which contains two full panels depicting St John the Baptist and St Andrew (left panel) and (right) the Madonna and Child and an unidentified knight in armour, possibly the benefactor. The smaller lights contain heraldic devices. There are other fragments of similar age in the other north aisle windows. In the window of the north side of the chancel, further fragments have been gathered together which are thought to be even earlier.

In 1991 the church was declared redundant and passed into the hands of the Churches Conservation Trust <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> .
