Deanery of Lafford
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Deanery of Lafford is an historic deanery in the Anglican Diocese of Lincoln[1] in England. Located around the market town of Sleaford, it covers an area of c.200 square miles and serves a population of c.36,000.[2]
In 1910 the Deanery was divided into the Deaneries of Lafford i or North Lafford, and the Deanery of Lafford ii or South Lafford. The two Deaneries re-merged in 1964 to form Lafford Deanery.[3]
Parishes of the Gilbertine Benefice were added in 2010.[4]
