Holme is a linear settlement and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England.

Holme is located some 5 miles (8.0 km) south-east of the town of Scunthorpe. Just to the south-east is Grade II listed Twigmoor Hall.[1] This house was the home of John Wright before he was executed for his part in the Gunpowder Plot. The authorities described Twigmoor Hall as “.. one of the worst in her Majesty’s dominions and is used like a Popish college for traitors’ in the northern parts” [2]
