TIXOVER

• Tixover was recorded in Domesday as part of the King's manor of Ketton. It is a small village and manor located about two miles south west of Ketton. Remains of a Roman villa were uncovered near Tixover Grange, supporting evidence of Roman occupation in this area.

• In the early 12th century, Tixover was established as a chapelry of Ketton, administered by the local prebend of the Diocese of Lincoln, who was based at Ketton.

• The Church of St Luke  is magnificently located, isolated from the village in fields close to the River Welland. It has a complete unbuttressed 12th century tower with triple round-headed bell stage, while the rest of the structure is largely 13th century. This matches the date of building work at Ketton, which was also administered under the prebendary.
