Waddingham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waddingham is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 548. It is just off the A15 north of Caenby Corner.
Originally there were two villages, Stainton where the present church is and Wadingham which were separated by the stream, Waddingham Beck, which runs through the village. These are both mentioned in the Domesday Book. The name apparently derives from 'Wading home', ie crossing the beck to return to Wadingham from Stainton. Stainton Avenue today runs along the side of the beck.
Waddingham has a post office and village shop, St Mary & St Peter church and a Methodist chapel. The Jubilee Hall is available for local functions and houses a doctor's surgery. Opposite is Waddingham Primary School. Close by is the village pub, the Marquis of Granby.
