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 at 5.30pm on Sunday 16th July 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 when the wheat straw has been gathered into large round bales. This view is taken looking towards the stand of trees which marks the site of the old post mill after which the field is named. On a clear day Lincoln cathedral is clearly visible on the skyline from this field looking in the opposite direction.

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 2011/2012 Mill Field will be fallow and managed under the requirements of the stewardship agreement as overwinter stubble. The stubble, sprouting plants and fallen grain provide feed for birds and small mammals over the winter. The ground will be broken up by harrowing before 20th March to provide nest sites for ground nesting birds such as the sky lark. Brown hares also have their young above ground and like this type of ground for breeding.
