Pair of cottages. Early C19.
Brick in Flemish bond with gauged brick lintels to all openings. Hipped roof of slate. 2 storeys and 3-window range. Openings are slightly camber arched, windows with projecting sills. 8-pane sashes of original design. Entrances between ranges. External brick walls stacks to returns, that to right lacking weathering.
Tower windmill originally a timber framed smock windmill built 1726 raised in 1860 and much rebuilt following a storm in 1889. Restored 1975 and now a working mill.
Brick, tarred. Four storeys with capping rebuilt in metal sheeting but in original ogee shape. Renewed fantail and two sails. Most of the interior is of the C19, but there is some timber reused from the 1726 mill including part of the main shaft
Telephone kiosk, Type K6. Designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, and made by various contractors.
Of cast iron. A square kiosk with a domed roof. The top panels have unperforated crowns, and the windows and door have margin glazing.
Steelyard, a device for weighing wagons, probably C18 in origin.
The machinery is raised on a yellow gault brick base and is protected from the weather by a timber frame and weatherboarded casing with tiled gabled roof.
Much of the machinery is probably late C19 or C20 but part of the main arm and post are original.
School and school house built on a symmetrical plan in 1863.
School of brick with flint casing and yellow gault brick quoins. Clunch dressings to doors and windows. Steeply pitched slate roof with shaped and pierced barge boarding to gable ends and originally with crested ridge tiles, now removed. Plan of single storey hall with offices to right hand forming a cross wing.
Minster Church, c1180-90 of cruciform plan.
In C15 the church was extended by one bay to the west and the west tower built. The late C12 nave arcade and crossing are particularly fine, as are the C15 roof, pews, misericords and screen. The church is constructed of rubble and pebblestone with flint and clunch. The interior stonework is of clunch. Restoration has been carried out in Ketton, particularly to door and window openings.
