The Allan Barker Field was bought from the Church in two separate parcels  over a decade apart.  

The first plot was purchased by the Parish Council in 1990, a sizeable proportion of the funding used was generously donated by local businessman  Mr Stanley Barker, in memory of his late brother, Allan, after whom the field is named.

The second, larger, plot was acquired in 2003, using a bequest to the Parish Council from the estate of the late Mr Cullumbine. 

This means that the Council has acquired some 19 acres (7.7 HA) of recreational land for the Parish, largely without recourse to Parish funds.

The Sports Pavilion was opened in 1992, having been built with Lottery funding.

In 2005, the two fields were brought together by a landscaping and drainage scheme, paid for from Parish funds, with matched funding from East Lindsey District Council.  The dyke between St Michael’s School and the field is to be culverted, rendering easy and safe access to the field from the school’s own small playing field.

The grounds will be landscaped, and facilities put in place, in order that all generations may derive benefit from using this amenity – whether they be playing a physical contact sport, or just enjoying a leisurely stroll in a pleasant setting.
