The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 1,788.Sudbrooke is situated just off the A158 Lincoln to Skegness road, and although the original heart of the village near the church has existed for centuries, the main development as a commuter village for Lincoln took place from the 1970s. Known only from written records the site of Holme in Sudbrooke has been built over since.Sudbrooke church is dedicated to Saint Edward the Confessor, and was built in 1860 by John Dobson of Newcastle upon Tyne. It is a Grade II* listed building. A much older churchyard cross was restored at about the same time. The new church replaced an older brick building, possibly itself a successor to an older Norman church. The church is part of the Barlings Group Ministry in the Deanery of Lawres.There appears to have been a searchlight battery in the village at some point during the Second World War.Although facilities are few, Sudbrooke has a shop, a café, a hairdresser, a filling station, two playgrounds, and a village hall which is primarily used by independent groups.

Ellison Boulters Church of England Primary Academy is situated in Scothern, Lincolnshire, England, on Sudbrooke Road. It has around 270 pupils, and accepts them mainly from the village of Scothern and the neighbouring villages of Langworth and Sudbrooke. Pupils are accepted from some distance outside this three-village catchment area for which it was built, as a result of which a place at the school for local children is not guaranteed.

Scothern is a small village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 6 miles (10 km) north-east of the county town of Lincoln, and has approximately 1000 inhabitants (892 according to the 2001 Census). At the 2011 census the population had reduced to 860 but further growth took place after that date. The place-name 'Scothern' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Scotstorne and Scotorne. The name means "the thorn-bush of the Scot or Scots".By the fifteenth century it was listed in church records as Sconethorne, an early reference to the local scone, made from local wheat flour and saffron. Up to the mid seventeenth century an annual festival took place on the village green to celebrate the scone, and Scothern's then links with the saffron growing areas of Essex, (notably Saffron Walden). Since that time, which coincides with the time at which the Marfleet family (from whom the original Saffron recipe derived) left the area, following the great famine of 1624, the festival has ceased to be observed. A crocus symbol can still be seen high up in the tower of the church.The neighbouring villages of Sudbrooke, Dunholme, Nettleham and Welton have been redeveloped over recent years, with the addition of new housing estates. Scothern, however, remained substantially unchanged, the only development other than the odd infill house until the turn of the century being the Juniper Drive/Alders development of around 35 houses in the early 1990s. Further developments have since taken place such as the st. Germain's road development After changes in the planning laws following a change of government in 2010, the preparatory work for a neighbourhood development plan was commenced by the Parish Council in 2012 with a view to protecting the village against unplanned, uncontrolled development. The work was halted by the Parish Council in 2013 after a change of clerk and chair, as a result of which some further development has been approved by West Lindsey District Council. Realising their mistake, the Parish Council restarted the neighbourhood development plan process in 2015 and the Scothern Neighbourhood Plan was formally adopted in 2017. As at October 2023 West Lindsey District Council was in the process of consulting on the Scothern Neighbourhood Plan Review, which updates the 2017 plan. Scothern is an ecclesiastical parish in the Diocese of Lincoln. The parish church on Church Street, dedicated to St Germain, is a Grade II* listed building. There is a village war memorial, dedicated to the soldiers from the village who died in the World Wars. Due to falling congregations, St Germain's now opens in rotation with other local churches in Dunholme and Welton. The regular congregation now stands at less than 10, largely older people, leading to concerns as to the maintenance costs of the building and its future as a church. Scothern's primary school is Ellison Boulters Academy, to which pupils travel from the neighbouring villages of Sudbrooke and Langworth. The village cricket club, formed in 1965, has teams competing at all youth levels. Two Senior sides on Saturday and a Sunday side compete in county league and cup competitions, while two midweek sides compete in the Lincoln and District Midweek League. Scothern Players amateur dramatics society typically perform twice a year. There is a small garden centre, with a tea room, in the village, but the shop and post office closed in March 1999. The local St Lukes nursing home holds up to 30 patients. Scothern's public house, the Bottle and Glass, was featured in The Telegraph in March 2008, when Prince William visited the pub for cider and a pie with his friends from the Red Arrows. Recent developments at the pub, and possible redevelopment of land currently occupied by the parish church, has caused local concern, and a consideration that the village could become a conservation Area. Although the Post Office closed in 1999, Scothern is served by mobile shops selling meat and fish, and by a mobile fish and chip van. There is also a small self-service shop selling vegetables and other sundries.

Langworth railway station was a railway station in Langworth, Lincolnshire, opened in 1848 and closed in 1965. On 30 June 2015, a freight train was derailed near the site of the station.

Reepham railway station was a railway station in Reepham, Lincolnshire which opened in 1848 and closed in 1965, though the line is still in use. It was located a few miles east of Lincoln. The station's building is now a private residence. The former coal yard and sidings are occupied by two bungalows. There is no trace of the platforms which were located either side of the level crossing, the staggered layout being typical of the company that built the line. The manual signal box and crossing gates were removed a few years ago and replaced by barriers. They are controlled by the still staffed signal box at Langworth further up the line towards Market Rasen, the next still-in-use station on the line. The removal of the staffed signal box has resulted in much longer waiting times for road traffic and pedestrians since the control was moved to Langworth. Up to closure, the station was used by grammar school pupils to go to De Aston School in Market Rasen. There are occasional calls for the station to be re-opened. It was the only village station on the line which was actually in the village. Most others being a few miles outside the villages from which the stations took their names. The line links Newark North Gate/Newark Castle-Lincoln Central-Grimsby-Cleethorpes. A couple of miles east of the village is the Welton oil field where a gathering station is located, and the oil is tanked for transportation, making the line very busy for freight.

A small cluster of semi-derelict buildings still exist and are still in use at the end of the present village on the road out to short ferry. Drake's view is the entrance to these old buildings.
