About Fencing in Grantham
Grantham grew wealthy through the medieval wool trade, helped by its position on the Great North Road, and its history includes two very different notable figures, Isaac Newton, who attended the local grammar school, and Margaret Thatcher, who was born above her father's grocery shop in the town. The construction of a bridge across the Trent at nearby Newark in 1168 was a key factor in Grantham's early success as a trading centre.

Types of Materials found in Grantham
Grantham sits at the southern end of the Lincoln Edge, where Jurassic Lincolnshire Limestone forms a prominent north to south ridge running up towards the Humber. Ground in the town itself is generally a mix of this limestone influenced soil and river valley deposits linked to the River Witham, which runs nearby. The limestone areas tend to give firmer, better draining ground for fence post footings compared with the softer, more variable conditions found closer to the river.
