Priory

Main article: North Ormsby Priory

A Gilbertine priory dedicated to Saint Mary was founded as a double house between 1148 and 1154, and dissolved in 1538. There are still earthworks visible, and the site is scheduled.[2]

Church

The former parish church, which was dedicated to Saint Helen, is a grade II listed building built in 1848 by S. S. Teulon. It was declared redundant in 1980 by the Diocese of Lincoln and sold for private residential use.[3][4] There is also a grade II listed churchyard cross in the churchyard which dates from the 14th century.[5]

The White Lady

Other

"The White Lady of North Ormsby" is a lifesize statue in the grounds of Abbey Farm, which is grade II listed. It is possibly of Roman origin, and depicts a lady in Grecian style. It was erected here in 1850 to commemorate the death of a lady in a riding accident.[6]

Near Mill Farm is the site of a World War One military airfield established in 1917 and abandoned in 1919. It was intended for 33 squadron use as an emergency landing site if short of fuel during anti Zeppelin operations.[7]
