Dunholme is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, on the A46 road five miles north-east of the county town, the City of Lincoln.
Dunholme has a post office and village shop, and St Chad's C of E Primary School on Ryland Road.
The parish church, St Chad, is a Grade I listed building, built in Early English Gothic style.[1] It contains a kneeling effigy to Robert Grantham (died 1616), and was restored in 1856 and 1892.[2]
RAF Dunholme Lodge airfield was used by RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War. It closed in 1964 and little remains; some of the site is now the William Farr School.
Every summer the village holds a village fate. The fate is held in the centre of the village near the church and involves a duck race alongside many other activities.
