Farforth remains a quiet collection of dwellings held fast by the clay and chalk of the Lincolnshire Wolds. It lies 5.6 miles south of Louth (from Louth: bearing 188°T, OS grid TF 318 784), and is situated north-east of Belchford village. The horizon here is defined by the sharp, sudden rise of Rosin Hill, where the wind scours the grass until it shines like pewter under a winter sun. Farforth maintains a stoic presence amidst these folds of earth, keeping a watch over the nearby shadows of the deserted village at Maidenwell. The land around Farforth bears the deep, bruised colours of heavy soil turned by the plough, a stark contrast to the pale, fragile chalk that surfaces in the ruts of the lanes. A Neolithic long barrow sits to the north, a humped silhouette against the sky that seems to hold the silence of centuries within its stony ribcage. This is a landscape of stark lines and wide, indifferent heavens, where the light shifts across the fields with the sudden, sharp movement of a bird. Every fence post and furrowed row speaks of the endurance required to inhabit such a solitary reach of the East Midlands.
