About this Assembly

Serving, supporting and protecting our local community

The Community Assembly of Grantham is recorded in Domesday entries as an estate centre, where Queen Edith had a hall before 1066. The area seems to have had no arable land and didn’t really start to expand until it became a market town when the wool trade started to grow in the 12th and 13th centuries.

Grantham is now a market and industrial town in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, situated on the banks of the River Witham and bounded to the west by the A1 road. It lies some 23 miles south of Lincoln and 22 miles east of Nottingham.

The town lies in the valley of the River Witham, its core at the Witham's confluence with the Mowbeck (or Mow Beck). The Witham flows south–north through Grantham. The Mowbeck, which rises from springs at Harlaxton about 3 miles to the south-west of the town, is culverted (a covered channel) behind Westgate and Brook Street until it joins the Witham at White Bridge.
