Businesses and shops in Healing

Healing consisted of 29 households in two manors at the time of the Domesday Book, when it was known as "Hegelinge" "Hechelinge" or "Heghelinge",[2] which probably derives from Anglo-Saxon Hægelingas - "the sons or followers of a man named Hægel". One of the manors was to the south of the village, the other is a moated site.[3]

In 1885 Kelly's Directory noted that parish area was 1,296 acres (5.2 km2), farmed on the four field system.[4]

The village has a post office, fish and chip shop, hairdressers, and a public payphone. It is served by Healing railway station,[5] on the Barton-Cleethorpes line, and a local bus service.[citation needed]

It has two schools, Healing Primary School and Healing Comprehensive. A new housing estate was built around 2001.[citation needed]

There are two local men's football teams, and a junior football team, the Healing Hotspurs.[citation needed]

Healing Grade II listed Anglican parish church is of 13th-century origin and dedicated to St Peter and St Paul. The upper parts of the tower are in Decorated style and ashlar-faced. It was partly rebuilt in 1840, and later heavily restored in 1876 by "Fowler of Louth", who added a new roof and windows and rebuilt its south side.[4][6][7][8] Within the churchyard is a listed 14th- or 15th-century cross base.[9] A further listed building at Healing is a late 18th- or early 19th-century farm range – a type of building typically containing stable, granary, dovecote and store.[10]
