The living is a rectory, valued in the king's books at £11. 2. 11., and in the gift of the Crown; net income, £391. The tithes were commuted for land and corn-rents in 1797".[5] During the Second World War, Swayfield was the site of two dummy airfields, the remains of which can still be seen.[6] GeographySwayfield is {{convert|8|mi|km|0}} from Bourne (via the A151), {{convert|12|mi|km|0}} from Grantham (via the B1176), {{convert|15|mi|km|0}} from Stamford (via the B1176) and {{convert|16|mi|km|0}} from Oakham.
