Dist:0.4km<br/>There's nothing quite like having the A46 just outside the window. There are plans to make this very busy road into a dual carriageway between Newark and Widmerpool bypassing villages along the way. The most recent incarnation of the plans include a realignment to save the village cricket pitch at Flintham! The start date is at least 5 years away some 40 years after the A46 from Leicester to Widmerpool was widened to dual carriageway. December 2009 update: Three and a bit years later and work on the A46 widening is already well advanced, and the route of the rebuilt road has become apparent. Far from being pestered by dual carriageway traffic, the occupants of Wharf Farm will now be alongside a quiet backwater, as the new road is some 200 metres distant from the old alignment at this point and the old Fosse Way will be used only by local traffic.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This fine boundary wall to the parkland of Stoke Hall is still largely intact both along Church Lane (this view) and the Fosse Road. It is relatively unusual in having the lower courses of stone and the main part of brick. This may be the result of later rebuilding.

Dist:0.9km<br/>By the A46 (Fosse Way). Most of the signage is for an Indian restaurant called Mou'chak, but the, defaced, sign for the Pauncefote Arms (see: [[900909]]) still hangs from the front.
