Description

North Hykeham is administratively a town immediately SSW of Lincoln, in the county of Lincolnshire, England. Geographically it forms the southern outer part of a greater Lincoln urban sprawl, and comprises 4,915 dwellings. The population of the town at the 2011 census was 13,884.HistoryNorth Hykeham was originally spelt "North Hyckham", and is commonly referred to as just 'Hykeham'.North Hykeham, both as a village and, since 1973, as a town, is independent from Lincoln. The old village dates back to the Angles, Germanic invaders who occupied much of Britain after the Romans left in 400AD. The Danes and Vikings arrived in Lincolnshire in 900AD, hence places with names ending in –by, thorpe and ham (which mean ‘village’).The Domesday Book (1087) records that North Hykeham had 15 households and a 52-acre meadow. The tenant-in-chief was Baldwin of Flanders.North Hykeham Church was first mentioned in 1160 but, by 1535 it was a 'free chapel', and by 1700 a ruin. From 1700 there was no church in North Hykeham. All Saints Church, consisting of nave, south aisle, chancel and tower, was erected on a new site in 1868, at a cost of £1200. A Methodist Chapel was built in 1881. In 1894 the first Parish Council was established and met in the village school. In 1948 the Parish Council moved to the Memorial Hall ('The Tin Tabernacle') on Newark Road. The present Memorial Hall was built in 1969. In May 2006 the Town Council moved to its new premises in Fen Lane, an extension of an existing pavilion.GeographyNewark Road is built directly on top of the old Roman road, Fosse Way; it is now the A1434 road although, until December 1985, it was the A46. North of the road is Hykeham railway station on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line, with few trains stopping each day. Farther along Mill Lane, to the south, is South Hykeham.
