The Village
Haconby and Stainfield are small, close-knit communities in rural Lincolnshire. Haconby has about 150 houses, while Stainfield has only 25 and relies on neighboring villages for services. Haconby features the Hare and Hounds pub, a community hub for Parish Council meetings, voting, and social activities like dominoes, darts, and Open Mic Night.
The village is peaceful with no through traffic, and remembrance services at the village green are well attended. The parish centers around countryside values, with pets being an important part of most people’s lives.
The Church
S​t. Andrews Church, Haconby, dates from the 12th century and features a spire with a golden cockerel. The church has wooden chairs for versatility and is undergoing bell tower refurbishment. The organ is in good condition, and the Lady Chapel is used for winter services.
The church hosts coffee mornings, concerts, quizzes, baptisms, weddings, and funerals. It aims to become a community space and village hall to ensure its future within the Diocese. The church has limited parking space, but most attendees walk, enjoying the bird song.
