Keddington is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies 2 miles (3.2 km) north-east from Louth

Keddington Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Margaret.[1] The church was restored in 1871-3. It has a 15th century wooden eagle lectern, and a south door with transom.[2]

Other Grade II listed buildings include the remains of two locks on the disused Louth Canal, four farm houses, a cottage, and the remains of Louth Park Abbey.[3] The Cistercian Louth Abbey was founded in 1139, and was dissolved at suppression in 1536. All that is still visible are earthworks and ruined chancel walls.[4]
