Temple Bruer
The parish lies 10 mi (16 km) to the southeast of Lincoln, 4 mi (6 km) southeast of Navenby and 6 mi (10 km) northwest of Sleaford. Wellingore and Welbourn parishes lie to the west and Brauncewell to the south. The old Roman road, Ermine Street, passes through the western edge of the parish, which at this point is a bridleway not a modern road. Temple High Grange is part of the parish. The parish covered about 3,900 acres (16 km). The parish is now within the electoral area of Ashby de la Launde and Cranwell Ward in North Kesteven District Council. It shares a parish council, the lowest tier of local government, with the adjacent parish of Ashby de la Launde and Bloxholm.
