Human settlement in England
Swaby is a civil parish and village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire , England, about 8 miles (13 km ) north from Spilsby , and 6 miles (9.7 km ) north-west from Alford . Whitepit is a hamlet half a mile west of the village.
History [ edit ]
Swaby is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as consisting of 21 households, 20 acres (0.1 km 2 ) of meadow, 600 acres (2 km 2 ) of woodland and two mills.[2]
In 1934 a hoard of 178 silver denarii in a pot were found in the field called 'The Bog' at Swaby. Lincoln Museum acquired 162 of the coins, ranging from Marcus Antoninus and Nero to Hadrian . The remainder are in the British Museum .[3]
The parish church is a Grade II listed building dedicated to Saint Nicholas . It was built in 1828 of red brick and has a small bell turret .[4] Lucy Lyttelton Cameron , the children's author was buried here in 1858.[5] An earlier church, dedicated to St Margaret , was removed by Henry Vane of Belleau manor around 1658. The site of the church is now a cottage garden.[6]
Swaby CE School was built in 1857 as a National School ; it closed in 1976.[7]
The village hall[8] occupies the site of the old Wesleyan Methodist chapel. The chapel was built in 1839, altered in 1866, and became a free Methodist chapel in 1869.[9]
Special scientific interest [ edit ]
There is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Swaby, noted under Section 28 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 . The reason for the designation:
"This glacial overflow valley supports floristically diverse lime-rich marsh and unimproved chalk turf. The marsh borders a stream bisecting the valley floor and the interest of the glassland is increased by the terraced nature of the slopes."[10]
