Low Toynton is a hamlet in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. The population of the civil parish (including Fulletby) was 187 at the 2011 census. It is about a mile north-east of the nearest town, Horncastle, in the Lincolnshire Wolds.

St Peter's Church

The parish church, St Peter, was rebuilt of greenstone in 1811, reusing 12th-century fragments of the previous church. However it fell into disuse at the end of 1959, eventually being declared redundant by the Diocese of Lincoln and sold into private ownership. It has fallen into decay and the roof is dangerous. Nevertheless, it remains a Grade II* listed building and a scheduled monument.[1][2][3]

Low Toynton Manor Farmhouse is a Grade II listed thatched mud and stud 18th-century farmhouse.[4]
