Grange de Lings
Grange de Lings

Grange de Lings is a civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 3 miles (5 km) north from the city centre of the county town of Lincoln. Grange de Lings is often quoted as the address for the Lincolnshire Showground, just off the west of the A15, but the parish actually lies entirely east of the A15, and the Lincolnshire Showground is in the parish of North Carlton. The parish is sometimes hyphenated as Grange-de-Lings. The north-western corner of the parish is at the A1500 junction with the A15, at a roundabout. The boundary follows Horncastle Lane eastwards where it neighbours Welton, to the north. At Dunholme, it follows southwards across the old runways of RAF Dunholme Lodge, of which the western end was in Grange de Lings. It briefly meets Scothern, and a small section of the parish extends between Scothern and Nettleham, to meet the A46, which it follows for around 200 metres. The boundary with Nettleham passes westwards, then south-west across Hall Lane, then meets Riseholme, where it follows a line due west to the A15 (Ermine Street), meeting South Carlton just south of the pylons across the A15. The western boundary of the parish is the A15, and just north of Watering Dyke Houses, it meets North Carlton at the perimeter fence of the Lincolnshire Showground (wholly outside the parish). There is an oil well in the north of the parish, next to the boundary with Welton, part of the East Midlands Oil Province. The parish has no parish church, but is part of the St Mary's church in the Riseholme with Grange de Lings parish, looked after by Nettleham parish, where the vicar is based. Grange-de-Lings in this respect is known as an extra-parochial district. For statistical and administrative purposes, it is joined with Riseholme (similar to the religious parish)

Dunholme
Dunholme

Dunholme is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the A46 road, and 5 miles (8 km) north-east of Lincoln. The earliest written evidence concerning Dunholme is found in the 1086 Domesday Book.The village stands almost exactly in the centre of its parish, on the banks of the Welton Beck, which follows into the village from Welton in the north.There are multiple theories on the origins of the village's name. One presented in The Place and River Names of the West Riding of Lindsey is that the name of the village is derived from "Dunham" from 'dun' meaning hill, and 'ham' meaning river bend. An alternative origin by Ekwall suggests the name came from "Donna's ham", meaning the 'ham' or enclosure of Dunna, possible an Anglo-Saxon.Within the village, Dunholme has a post office, a village shop, St Chad's CE Primary School on Ryland Road. William Farr C of E Comprehensive School is partially located within the parish boundary and is accessible from Honeyholes Lane in the village of Dunholme, however the main entrance is located on Lincoln Road in Welton.The parish church is dedicated to Saint Chad, and is a Grade I listed building, built in Early English style. It contains a kneeling effigy to Robert Grantham (died 1616), which was restored in 1856 and 1892. The church forms part of the benefice of Welton, Dunholme and Scothern. The rood screen was carved by the Congolese sculptor Mahomet Thomas Phillips.RAF Dunholme Lodge airfield was used by RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War. It closed in 1964 and little remains. Some of the land was purchased by Rev William Farr in 1946 for the site of William Farr School. Every summer, the village holds a village fête. The fête is held in the centre of the village near the church and involves a duck race alongside many other activities. The village has a camera club.
