North Scarle is a village in Kesteven, the south-western part of Lincolnshire. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 640.
The village is situated close to the River Trent, about eight miles south-west of the county town, the City of Lincoln, and on the county boundary with Nottinghamshire.
The parish church, All Saints, dates from the 12th century, although it was destroyed by fire in 1342 and rebuilt directly afterwards. It is a Grade I listed building. In 1898 it was extensively restored and a north aisle was built by Sir Ninian Comper.[1][2]
The 19th-century clergyman and Australian police commander Henry Inman was rector of All Saints for 36 years and is interred in the churchyard.[3]
Village amenities include a village hall, post office, heritage centre, The White Hart public house, a Methodist hall, a sports and social club and playing fields, and a Primary School.[4] There is also a miniature railway.[5]
