Holton Farm
   
In Pacifist Farming Communities in Lincolnshire John Makin examines the farming communities set up by conscientious objectors in and around the village of Holton Beckering, Lincolnshire, during World War Two.

The CO Register is a detailed examination that includes nearly 150 names of WW2 COs living in this part of Lincolnshire, their partners, later arrivals, farmers, farm workers, plus prominent clerics and writers who were involved in the PPU-funded project at Laurels Farm.
