Winceby

Winceby is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, located in the Wolds, about 5 miles from Horncastle and the same from Spilsby.

The village is notable for the (Civil War) Battle of Winceby, which took place in 1643, when the Royalist army was defeated by the Roundheads at "Slash Hill".

There is a church, St. Margaret's, and a garage. The village is very close to the Snipe Dales nature reserve and country park, owned by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust.
