North Kyme is located near the larger village of Billinghay.
North Kyme has a church dedicated to Saint Luke, which was built in 1877 of red brick to a design by Drury and Mortimer, and is a Grade II listed building.[1] It replaced an earlier church which had been pulled down during the Reformation.[2]
The village cross dates from the 14th century and is Grade II listed, and also a scheduled monument. It was restored in the 1820s.[3][4]
North Kyme Primary School opened in 1866, and was leased to the North Kyme School Board when it formed in 1879. A fire destroyed the wooden buildings of the junior and senior classrooms on 20th May 1952, but the school survived until 2005 when it eventually closed.[5]
The village has a public house, the Plough, and a village hall.[6]References
