Morton Hall is a small Lincolnshire village, dominated by an Immigration Removal Centre. It is in the civil parish of Swinderby, in Kesteven, the south-western part of the county, eight miles south-west of the county town, the City of Lincoln, and centrally located between the nearby larger villages of Swinderby, Thorpe on the Hill, and Eagle Barnsdale.
Morton Hall is served by Swinderby railway station, just outside the village to the west. A separate hamlet named simply 'Morton' is half a mile to the south-east.
Morton Hall Immigration Removal Centre is located in the village.[1] It was originally the site of an RAF base, which was converted into a prison in 1985. The facility was converted into an immigration removal centre in 2011.
