The civil parish of Helpston covers an area of {{convert|1860|acres}} and had an estimated population in 2005 of 870.[1] The parish church is dedicated to St Botolph; the chancel window was created by Francis Skeat and depicts "Christ in Majesty".[2][3] The poet John Clare was born in Helpston in 1793 and is buried in the churchyard of St Botolph's.[2] The thatched cottage where he was born was bought by the John Clare Trust in 2005.[4] The John Clare Cottage, at 12 Woodgate, has been restored using traditional building methods and is open to the public. In 2013 the John Clare Trust received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to help preserve the building and provide educational activities for youngsters visiting the cottage.[5] The name Helpston is Anglo-Saxon in origin and means the farmstead (tun) first settled by Help (an Old English personal name).[6] Helpston is well known for its athletics club, Helpston Harriers AC, who aspire to improve local running standards.[7] GallerySee also
