Grantham Road, Ropsley
The village of Ropsley was the birthplace of Richard Fox, the Tudor Bishop who founded the Grammar School at Grantham and Corpus Christi College at Oxford. The public house is the Ropsley Fox, built of the local creamy-grey limestone and dating back to 1657. It used to be called the Foxes Brush.

Hall Court
A small infill housing estate from the very early years of the 21st century - the detached garages are a give-away, dating this to the period of the Blair/prescott government and their strange planning laws.

Double detached garage
I am assuming that the two homes associated with this block have two colours of front door.
Detached garage blocks were a characteristic of the years at the start of the 21st century, when John Prescott was the minister in charge of many things, including housing. It was a requirement that houses be built without provision for motor cars (an attempt to encourage the use of public transport). This may have made sense to the metropolitan mind, but in rural Lincolnshire was wholly ridiculous. Thus, housebuilders took to building separate garages, on separate plots, and selling them "separately" to the houses.

Saint Peter's Church, Ropsley.
The Anglican parish church is dedicated to Saint Peter and appears to date from Norman times. Some parts of the church appear also to be of Saxon origin. The building dates back to at least 1380.
