West Fen Drain at Westville

Westville consists of Westville Farm and a couple of houses including the original Farmhouse, (Home Farm). Home Farm's barn was sold off and has now been converted into a barn conversion.

Westville was created a township after the draining of the West Fen in 1812,[1] in 1866 Westville became a separate civil parish,[2] on 1 April 2005 the parish was abolished and merged with Frithville to form "Frithville and Westville".[3] In 1971 the parish had a population of 55.[4]

John Rennie directed the building of an early-19th-century bridge over the Twenty Foot Drain at Westville; it is Grade II listed.[5]
