In 1885 Kelly's Directory noted that Evedon was a parish of 1,333 acres (5 km²) and three farms, on heavy soil that produced crops of wheat, oats, beans, barley and turnips, and seeds – small potatoes used as seed stock. Parish population in 1881 was 73, with Murray Finch-Hatton DL JP as sole landowner. The parish was entitled to send children to Sleaford Grammar School, and two to the Free School at Ewerby.^[1] The parish register dates from 1599. By 1933 parish land had increased to 1,647 acres (7 km²), with 5 acres of water – population in 1921 was now 81.^[2] There were still three farms, with two farm bailiffs, and a dairyman.
