Billinghay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Billinghay is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, about ten miles north-east of Sleaford. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 1,808. The village lies along the B1189 (for Walcott) near the junction with the A153. Just south of the village towards Sleaford is North Kyme.

The village contains two schools, The Lafford High School (Secondary Modern), and Billinghay Primary School. Lafford High is due to go though a phased closure, due to falling pupil numbers. [1]

The village also has one of the UK's top Twinning Associations, twinned with Ballon, in the Sarthe department of France. The parish church is dedicated to St Michael & All Angels and part of the Car Dyke group of parishes - including Tattershall Bridge.
