Ludborough is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles (8 km) north from Louth, and at the eastern end of the A18 road. Ludborough has a population of 191 people. The Prime Meridian passes to the east of the village.

History[edit]

Evidence of Neolithic activity in the area was confirmed by a find, in the 1970s, of a stone axe believed to be of the Langdale type.[2] While aerial photographs in 2010 led to the identification of a rectangular enclosure dating to the Iron Age or Roman period as cropmarks.[3]

In A Dictionary of British Place Names, A.D. Mills interprets Ludborough's name to mean a 'fortified place' that may be associated in some way with the Lincolnshire town of Louth.[4]

In the Domesday Book of 1086, Ludborough had 38 freeman and was considered 'very large'.[5] Before the Conquest lordship was held by Thorgot Lag, and after, Berengar of Tosny, with Robert of Tosny as tenant-in-chief and the head of the manor at Binbrook.[5]

On 4 May 1297, King Henry III granted the manor holders, Richard de Breuse and his wife Alic, the right to hold a market in the village.[6]

The parish church, dedicated to St. Mary, retains elements from the 13th to the 15th century but was substantially renovated by James Fowler in 1858.[7] Following the lengthy closure for renovation the church was re-opened on 1 May 1860.[8]

In 1821, the parish had a population of 281, and had 45 homes. Around this time, part of the south aisle of St. Mary's Church was used as a school.[9]

Community[edit]

Ludborough is noted for its railway station, the base for the heritage Lincolnshire Wolds Railway.
