The Old King’s Head

We invite you to join our crowdfunding campaign to save Tudor coaching inn, The Old King’s Head of Kirton.

The inn is a rare example of the Fenland Artisan Mannerist style, a building technique which reveals a unique history of the ebb and flow of Britain’s people. The Old King’s Head tells us about the forgotten importance of the road from London to Boston, once a hub for those who traded, travelled and warred by sea.

Kirton, now a small village was once a hectic town, the third largest settlement in the county. The history of the Old King’s Head and its custodians reflect the cultural heritage of the local area, prosperous landlords, vigorous rivalries, between the church, barmen and even their own clientele!

So What’s Next for the Old King’s Head?

Now the Old King’s Head, still standing proud, is vulnerable to irreparable damage. Through grants we have so far raised enough to purchase and carry out two rounds of emergency works. But we need your help to make sure that the work we do is complete and this incredible building is restored to its rightful position at the heart of the village of Kirton. Your donations do not have to be huge, our aim is that through uniting many voices we can show that people care about seeing remarkable buildings being put to good use! Have your say: donate to our campaign.
