Fillingham

Fillingham is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 170. It is 9 miles north of Lincoln just off the A15.

The church of St. Andrew was partially reconstructed in 1777 and restored again in 1866. Portions date from around 1200.

There is evidence of a Roman camp in the village and Anglo Saxon pottery has also been found. Archaeological excavations have also found evidence of an Anglo Saxon cemetery which may have been associated with a second church in the village.

The large Fillingham Lake is one of the sources of the River Till, a small river whose lower reaches form the Fossdyke Navigation.

Fillingham Trees at Castle Farm are a large grower of Christmas trees and their associated all-year Christmas shop is a popular attraction. [http://www.fillingham-trees.co.uk/]
