[edit] Geography
The village lies two miles east of Stamford on the A16 where the low Jurassic clay and cornbrash ridge on which it stands lies thirty metres or so above the level of The Fens. Uffington Park, the grounds of a country house demolished by fire in 1904, lies between the village and the river. Subsidiary buildings of Uffington House remain.
[edit] History
Until 1961 the village was served by Uffington and Barnack railway station. Today, the village is served by Delaine buses on the Stamford to Market Deeping route. The parish church is dedicated to St Michael & All Angels. In the Uffington Group of churches are Tallington, Barholm, West Deeping and Greatford. On the west side of the village is an Asian Fusion Restaurant and the Ye Olde Bertie Arms on Bertie Lane, is on the Market Deeping end of the village. For the last 10 years the village has held a Scarecrow Adventure trail where visitors can join in the early May Bank holiday festivities and search for scarecrows all round the village.
[edit] Lost village
To the north-east is Casewick Hall. This is the location of a Deserted Medieval Village known as Casuic in the Domesday survey, and as Casewickin a tax list of 1334. By 1816 only Casewick Hall and one other house survived.[1]
[edit] Local Administration
