Linwood is a small village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, on the minor B1202 road about two miles south of the town of Market Rasen. The population (including Buslingthorpe) at the 2011 census was 143.
The parish church, dedicated to St Cornelius, dates from the late 12th century and is a Grade I listed building.[1]
Linwood is part of a major woodland conservation area, centred on Linwood Warren a mile and a half to the north-east,[2] and is a primary target area to promote and encourage the repopulation by woodlarks (Lullula arborea), a native bird that has become almost extinct locally. In 2005 the population had been raised to approximately 50 breeding pairs and 60 other male birds, after more than 15 years of work monitored by the Lincolnshire Bird Club.
