Mill Field is a cosy double bedroom with a wash hand basin and a private bathroom immediately adjacent. It looks out towards The Dovecote with a lovely view down the village to the open fields and woods beyond.

The photographs below show the room, the bathroom and the views first towards The Dovecote Inn, our friendly village pub which specialises in great food, and secondly down the village towards Kneesall woods in the distance.

Crosshill House features prettily folded guest towels and a guest information folder, both of which can be see on the bed below.

Mill Field, Laxton is named after the wooden post mill which stood at the top of the field and which was destroyed in a gale in 1916. The place where the mill stood is now marked by a small copse.

The photograph on the bottom left shows mill field after harvest in 2007 when the wheat straw has been gathered into large round bales. This view is taken looking west towards Lincoln. On a clear day Lincoln cathedral is clearly visible on the skyline.

The picture at the bottom right was taken from South Field, and shows the strips in Mill Field after harvest when some have been ploughed and others still have wheat straw bales waiting to be taken home.

In 2008 Mill field is the second year field and will be left in over winter stubble until early 2009 when the ground will be broken up to provide suitable habitat for ground nesting birds. In autumn 2009 it will be ploughed to be sown with wheat and will be subject to its three yearly inspection by the Laxton Jury in late November 2009.
