Village Signpost, Church Lane, North Cockerington

North Cockerington is a small village found approximately 4 miles to the east of Louth, in the English county of Lincolnshire. The village is home to the North Cockerington Church of England Primary School but has no shops or public houses.

The former Post Office in Meadow Lane, once called Ashdene and now known as Pump Cottage is reputed to be haunted. The population has fluctuated between 150 and 200 since at least 1801 and currently remains at just below 200 with an equal distribution of males/females. In 1670 Sir Jarvis Scrope founded six tenements for the poor people of North and South Cockerington. North Cockerington was formerly known as Cockerington St Mary, distinguishing it from Cockerington St Leonard, now South Cockerington.
