Hackthorn is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, to the north of Lincoln.
Geography
[edit]It is combined with Cold Hanworth to form the parish council of Hackthorn and Cold Hanworth. The population of the civil parish (including Cold Hanworth) at the 2011 census was 207.[1]
It is situated approximately 6 miles (10 km) north from the city and county town of Lincoln, and 1 mile (1.6 km) east from the A15.
According to the 2001 Census it had a population of 180.[2]
The village is part of the Owmby Group of parishes.[3]
The village dates back to Roman times. Its most prominent building is its hall, a large square brick house, built in the late 18th century in a landscaped park of around 100 acres (0.40 km2).[citation needed]
There is also a primary school, shop and village hall.
History
[edit]Situated among the trees of the park overlooking the lake is the parish church, dedicated to St Michael and All Angels. A village church is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, although the present church is a Victorian gothic building. It contains carved woodwork in the reredos screen and gallery, and an 1869 Nicholson Organ, fully restored in 2006.
World War II
[edit]A Ju 188 had shot down Avro Lancaster 'NG502' of 460 Sqn near Sudbrooke.[4] In the early hours of March 4 1945, during Operation Gisela, a German Ju 188 of NJG 5 crashed into a vehicle, between Welton and Spridlington, [5] killing the driver, Jack Kelway.[6] The four Germans were buried in Scampton church.[7]
