  Heckington's Bricks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Ewerby is a small village to the north-west of Heckington, but we cannot say whether all the yellow bricks in the area came from there.
Most of Heckington's buildings are either built in English Garden Wall bond in courses of three, or in Flemish bond, sometimes with the header bricks in a contrasting colour.
Heckington Hall was clad in tiles in 1862, and if you look carefully over the brick wall (which itself has seen many changes) at the Hall, you will notice the difference.

 History lesson
This eight sailed mill is the only one of its kind in Great Britain, a lasting testament to a past in which the corn was ground with machinery powered by the wind, and its restoration a result of the dedication and commitment of an enthusiastic band of volunteers.
In some ways, Heckington Mill is something of a curiosity, in that it actually began life with only five sails, a common configuration in Lincolnshire at the time.
From 1892 until shortly after the second world war in 1946, Heckington windmill, basking in the glory of its newly acquired eight sails, enjoyed something of a halcyon period and was in continual work.

The village of HECKINGTON, twelve miles west of Boston, has a tidy little centre that drapes around the church of St Andrew (Mon-Sat 9am-5pm or dusk in winter; free), a splendid example of the Decorated style, with a pinnacled spire and elaborate canopied buttresses framing the flowing tracery of the windows.
Inside, the original fourteenth-century chancel fittings have survived, including the battered tomb of the founder, Richard de Potesgrave, and an Easter Sepulchre, whose folksy and energetic carved figures are set against a dense undergrowth of foliage.
Heckington has one other attraction, its unique eight-sailed windmill, located a short stroll from the church and worth visiting when it's in operation (Easter to mid-July Thurs-Sun noon-5pm; mid-July to Aug daily noon-5pm; Sept to Easter Sun 2-5pm; £1.50).
