Scamblesby is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, in the Lincolnshire Wolds six miles south-west of Louth, on the A153 road.
The parish church is dedicated to St Martin. It was partially rebuilt in the 1890s and seats around 100.
History
In 1185, Roger de Maletoth gave a bovate, around 20 acres of land, at Scamblesby, to the Knights Templar.[1]
In 1507, the prebend of Scamblesby was held by Polydore Vergil, an Italian historian and priest, who had moved to England in 1502.[2] Vergil held the prebend until 1513 but lived mainly in London.[3]
In 1672, Herbert Thorndike, Canon of Westminster Abbey, left the 'lands and tenements' he owned in Scamblesby, to be held in trust, to provide a 'perpetual vicarage' for the local church.[4]
