Revesby Abbey was a Cistercian monastery near the village of Revesby in Lincolnshire, England. The abbey was founded in 1143 by William de Roumare, Earl of Lincoln, and the first monks came from Rievaulx Abbey. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the Abbey was demolished and a country house built. Another house was built in the mid-19th century, and is in poor condition. Unoccupied since the 1960s and previously earmarked for demolition, the house was listed on the 2023 Heritage at Risk Register issued annually by Historic England. The register recorded that, although some progress had been made in relation to the repair and renovation of the stable block, the main house remained at "serious risk".

Carrington is a village in the civil parish of Carrington and New Bolingbroke, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) north from the market town of Boston. It lies within The Fens and was largely uninhabited marshland until the early nineteenth century. Drainage of an area known as West Fen began in 1802, and in 1812 a township called Carrington was created covering some of the drained land, named after Robert Smith, 1st Baron Carrington, the main landowner. The township became a civil parish in 1858. The civil parish of Carrington also included New Bolingbroke, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the north. The parish was renamed "Carrington and New Bolingbroke" in November 2022, at which point the parish council also declared the parish to be a town, allowing it to take the style "town council" and appoint a mayor. The parish also contains the hamlet of Medlam. The parish has a population of 564 according to the 2001 census, reducing slightly to 554 at the 2011 Census.Carrington church is dedicated to St Paul, and was built of red brick in 1816 under the Fen Chapel Act (1816), with its chancel being added in 1872.
