Hallington is a small village and civil parish about 2 miles (3.2 km) south-west of the town of Louth, Lincolnshire, England, in the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Hallington is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Halintun,[1] listed as having fifteen households and ten acres of meadow, and assigned to Earl Hugh of Chester.[2]
The village is probably the site of a Medieval settlement, indicated by aerial observations showing earthwork evidence of ridge and furrow fields, crofts, buildings and sunken lanes.[3]
The parish church, which was dedicated to Saint Lawrence, no longer exists. Three isolated graves are all that remain of church and burial ground.[4]
Hallington railway station was sited in the village; it opened in 1876 and closed in 1956.[5] The main building still exists and is now a private residence.[6]
Off Station Road is Home Farm House, a Grade II listed farmhouse ca.1800.[7]
