Barholm  is a village in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is  west from the A15 road, and  south from Bourne. Barholm is first recorded as "Berc(a)ham" in 1086; the name is from Old English beorg + hām or hamm and means "homestead or enclosure on a hill."

Since the Creation? A new steeple built
In the time of vexation." Local government
