Cuxwold is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, a mile south of of Swallow (to whose civil parish it has been allocated) and north-east of Rothwell. It lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds, four miles east of Caistor and ten miles south-west of Grimsby.
The parish church, St Nicholas. Is of 11th-century origin but with an incorporated earlier Anglo-Saxon tower arch. It was considerably restored and rebuilt in 1860 by James Fowler.[1][2] The restoration was carried-out under instruction from Henry Thorold, who, in the 1870s, added a monument to his family within the church. The church is a Grade II* listed building.[3]
Within the village another notable building is Cuxwold Hall, built in 1860.[4]
Cuxwold was the location of an emergency landing ground for airplanes during the Second World War and is now the home of Grimsby Airfield.
