Keddington is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, two miles north-east of Louth.
The parish church, St Margaret, was restored in 1871-73. The church is a Grade II listed building.[1] The church has a 15th-century wooden eagle lectern, and a south door with transom.[2] The eagle lectern is one of only six in England of its kind.[3]
Other Grade II listed buildings include the remains of two locks on the disused Louth Canal, four farm houses, a cottage, and the remains of Louth Abbey. A Cistercian house, Louth Abbey was founded in 1139, and was dissolved at suppression in 1536. Still visible are earthworks and ruined chancel walls.[4]
