The village is a documented settlement in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was mainly an agricultural community until the late 19th century. Horseracing also took place on the heathland areas, which are now part of the RAF station.
At various times other activities including malting, brick-making and stone-quarrying have taken place in the village.
Around 1830, George Boole, the mathematician, taught at Waddington Academy Boarding School in the village, run by Robert Hall. From 1838 to 1840, Boole lived in the village and became headmaster of the academy.
Enemy action during 1941 severely damaged 71 houses in the village, as well as the Horse & Jockey pub and the NAAFI building on the RAF station. The damage was mainly caused by two aerial mines; large bombs dropped by parachute and fused to explode before hitting the ground. Eleven people were killed, among them the NAAFI manageress, Mrs Constance Raven, after whom the All-Ranks Club on the RAF station is still named.
The Parts of Lindsey was a unit of local government until 1974 in Lincolnshire, England, covering the northern part of the county. The Isle of Axholme, which is on the west side of the River Trent, has normally formed part of it. The district's name originated from the Kingdom of Lindsey of Anglo-Saxon times, whose territories were merged with that of Stamford to form Lincolnshire.
Local government
When the English shires were established, Lindsey became part of Lincolnshire. It and each of Kesteven and Holland, acquired the formal designation of Parts of Lincolnshire. Thus it became the Parts of Lindsey.
The constituency consisted of the historic county of Lincolnshire, excluding the city of Lincoln which had the status of a county in itself after 1409. (Although Lincolnshire contained four other boroughs, Boston, Grantham, Great Grimsby and Stamford, each of which elected two MPs in its own right for part of the period when Lincolnshire was a constituency, these were not excluded from the county constituency, and owning property within the borough could confer a vote at the county election. This was not the case, though, for Lincoln.)
As in other county constituencies the franchise between 1430 and 1832 was defined by the Forty Shilling Freeholder Act, which gave the right to vote to every man who possessed freehold property within the county valued at £2 or more per year for the purposes of land tax; it was not necessary for the freeholder to occupy his land, nor even in later years to be resident in the county at all.
Take Four Trips Back in Time in Waddington Lincolnshire
Today we take a rare trip outside the city of Lincoln, but it is pretty much joined to the city these days.
Waddington is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, situated approximately 4 miles south of Lincoln on the A607 Grantham Road. The village is known for its association with RAF Waddington. At the 2011 Census Waddington had a population of 6,122.
The name 'Waddington' means 'farm/settlement of the people of Wada'.

WADDINGTON: North Kesteven Parish #2 of 75
NORTH KESTEVEN PARISH #2: WADDINGTON
Welcome back to North Kesteven everyone, and the series continues with a village that’s joined at the hip to the City of Lincoln. This is Waddington, situated approximately 4 miles south of Lincoln on the A607 – the main road towards Grantham. The name “Waddington” means “farm or settlement of the people of Wada”. It has a population in excess of 6,000, thanks mainly to the suburbs of Lincoln that fall within its boundaries and the married quarters at the landmark its most well known for – the enormous RAF Waddington.
The RAF dominates Waddington’s history, but as well as that, there are some other interesting bits to tell you here. Industrially, Waddington was an important centre for malting, brick-making and stone-quarrying, all of which have now ce...

Waddington Then and Now
This time shift is one of my rare excursions outside the city of Lincoln, albeit it just a few miles south to the village of Waddington. Here we are looking north up the High Street, with the Horse and Jockey pub on the left. It is interesting that all the buildings on the left are basically the same, whereas all the ones on the right are different. Every time I see an old photo like this with lots of people in, I wonder what sort of lives they had.

Today we take a rare trip outside the city of Lincoln, but it is pretty much joined to the city these days.
Waddington is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, situated approximately 4 miles south of Lincoln on the A607 Grantham Road. The village is known for its association with RAF Waddington. At the 2011 Census Waddington had a population of 6,122.
The name 'Waddington' means 'farm/settlement of the people of Wada'.
The village is a documented settlement in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was mainly an agricultural community until the late 19th century. Horseracing also took place on the heathland areas, which are now part of the RAF station. At various times other activities including malting, brick-making and stone-quarrying have taken place in the village.
In 1790 Mary Farmery and Susanna Locker both laid claim to the affections of a young man; this produced a challenge from the former to fight for the prize, which was accepted by the latter. Proper sidesmen were chosen, and every matter conducted in form. After several knock-down blows on both sides, the boxing battle ended in favour of Mary Farmery.
Around 1830, George Boole, the mathematician, taught at Waddington Academy Boarding School in the village, run by Robert Hall. From 1838 to 1840, Boole lived in the village and became headmaster of the academy.
Enemy action during 1941 severely damaged 71 houses in the village, as well as the Horse & Jockey pub and the NAAFI building on the RAF station. The damage was mainly caused by two aerial mines; large bombs dropped by parachute and fused to explode before hitting the ground. Eleven people were killed, among them the NAAFI manager, Mrs. Constance Raven, after whom the All-Ranks Club on the RAF station is still named.
The older part of the village primarily consists of buildings built of the local limestone, along with some brick-built houses built after brick-making began to take place on the lower slopes of the village. Newer residential areas are located in the Brant Road part of the village (which is at the bottom of the Lincoln Edge and has merged with the Lincoln suburb of Bracebridge), and are of modern brick and tile construction. The more modern areas of the village have developed down the steep hill towards Lincoln.
The first two videos show the High Street, including the Horse and Jockey pub that is currently closed. The third video is of Church Lane, where the left hand stone building dates from 1793. The fourth and final video shows Hill Top, and a fascinating long lost large pond. Sadly I have no dates for the old photos.

Transport wise, the 1800s saw the opening of a railway line through Waddington, and there was a station which lasted for almost a century. Trains last called here in 1962, three years before the line fully closed. It also has a connection to the mathematician George Boole, the founder of Boolean Logic. And in 1790 there was a notable fight, between two women no less!

This time shift is one of my rare excursions outside the city of Lincoln, albeit it just a few miles south to the village of Waddington. Here we are looking north up the High Street, with the Horse and Jockey pub on the left. It is interesting that all the buildings on the left are basically the same, whereas all the ones on the right are different. Every time I see an old photo like this with lots of people in, I wonder what sort of lives they had.

The name 'Waddington' means 'farm/settlement of the people of Wada'.
The village is a documented settlement in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was mainly an agricultural community until the late 19th century. Horseracing also took place on the heathland areas, which are now part of the RAF station. At various times other activities including malting, brick-making and stone-quarrying have taken place in the village.
In 1790 Mary Farmery and Susanna Locker both laid claim to the affections of a young man; this produced a challenge from the former to fight for the prize, which was accepted by the latter. Proper sidesmen were chosen, and every matter conducted in form. After several knock-down blows on both sides, the boxing battle ended in favour of Mary Farmery.
Around 1830, George Boole, the mathematician, taught at Waddington Academy Boarding School in the village, run by Robert Hall. From 1838 to 1840, Boole lived in the village and became headmaster of the academy.
Enemy action during 1941 severely damaged 71 houses in the village, as well as the Horse & Jockey pub and the NAAFI building on the RAF station. The damage was mainly caused by two aerial mines; large bombs dropped by parachute and fused to explode before hitting the ground. Eleven people were killed, among them the NAAFI manager, Mrs. Constance Raven, after whom the All-Ranks Club on the RAF station is still named.
The older part of the village primarily consists of buildings built of the local limestone, along with some brick-built houses built after brick-making began to take place on the lower slopes of the village. Newer residential areas are located in the Brant Road part of the village (which is at the bottom of the Lincoln Edge and has merged with the Lincoln suburb of Bracebridge), and are of modern brick and tile construction.

This time shift is one of my rare excursions outside the city of Lincoln, albeit it just a few miles south to the village of Waddington. Here we are looking north up the High Street, with the Horse and Jockey pub on the left. It is interesting that all the buildings on the left are basically the same, whereas all the ones on the right are different. Every time I see an old photo like this with lots of people in, I wonder what sort of lives they had.
The village is a documented settlement in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was mainly an agricultural community until the late 19th century. Horseracing also took place on the heathland areas, which are now part of the RAF station.
At various times other activities including malting, brick-making and stone-quarrying have taken place in the village.
Around 1830, George Boole, the mathematician, taught at Waddington Academy Boarding School in the village, run by Robert Hall. From 1838 to 1840, Boole lived in the village and became headmaster of the academy.
Enemy action during 1941 severely damaged 71 houses in the village, as well as the Horse & Jockey pub and the NAAFI building on the RAF station. The damage was mainly caused by two aerial mines; large bombs dropped by parachute and fused to explode before hitting the ground. Eleven people were killed, among them the NAAFI manageress, Mrs Constance Raven, after whom the All-Ranks Club on the RAF station is still named.
