Village scene, Harlaxton
Lincolnshire is so rich in building stone that not many villages have a red-brick character. Most dwellings in Harlaxton, big or small, of whatever date, are of handsome red brick - often with stone detailing. The house shown here, 'Coneygree', is grander than most, but is typical of the character of the whole village. It dates, I believe, from the first half of the 19th century - probably the 1840's. (Does anybody know the origin of the name 'Coneygree'? Similar names, including 'Coneygier', are widespread in rural England. Something to do with rabbits? ) Coneygree stands overlooking this little green, which is somewhat of a focal point in the village plan. The obelisk has been identified by Richard Croft as Image An interesting contrast to red-brick Harlaxton is to be found nearby at Denton (in SK8632), which is largely built of ironstone, so that yellow, green and rusty shades predominate.

As is so often the case, the cross contains material from various periods. Here, much of the plinth, the octagonal socket stone and the upper part of the shaft are genuinely medieval. Listed Grade II and also a Scheduled Monument.
