Hackthorn

Hackthorn

Hackthorn is a village ("part of the civil parish of Hackthorn and Cold Hanworth"), in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population ("including Cold Hanworth") of 180. It is situated 7½ miles (12 km) north of Lincoln just east of the A15.

The village dates back to Roman times. Its most prominent building is its Hall, a large square brick built house, built in the late 18th century in a landscaped park of around 40 ha.

Situated among the trees of the park overlooking the lake is the parish church, dedicated to 'St. Michael and All Angels'. The church is mentioned in the Domesday Book, although the present church is a Victorian gothic building. It contains carved woodwork in the reredos screen and gallery, an 1869 Nicholson Organ which is recognised as being of historic importance and which was fully restored in 2006.

There is also a primary school, post office, shop and village hall.
