Stainfield Spa In 1720 a Dr Edward Greathead of Lincoln discovered the existence of mineral springs in the vicinity and a well house was built for the convenience of the many visitors, but nothing of this exists now apart from the name Spa Farm: a livery stable. The gap in the hedge is where the footpath exits onto the Kirky Underwood road.
