Nestling at the southern foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, Old Bolingbroke was once an important gateway to the wolds from the fens to the South. The village is home to the remains of Bolingbroke Castle, which was built around 1220 by Randulph de Blundevill, Earl of Lincoln. In 1366 Henry of Bolingbroke was born here and later became Henry IV King of England. Today the castle is controlled by English Heritage and open to the public.
The village is set in beautiful Lincolnshire countryside and surrounded on three sides by hills. There are many good walks and outstanding natural views. Within the village there is a Church, a chapel and a public house and the nearest shopping is in the market town of Spilsby some 3.5 miles northeast. There are several holiday cottages located within the village and limited public transport to Spilsby. WEB SITE PROGRESS: Please be patient as we are in the process of building the site, but hope that it will become a key community and parish resource in the following months and years. The site will not look very dynamic at the present time as we learn to add information, photographs and images. However we know how useful it is for residents to have access to agendas, background papers and minutes and these are available now.
