South Cockerington is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, sitting four miles east of the nearest market town, Louth.
The parish church, St Leonard, is a Grade I listed building dating from the early 14th century and restored in 1872-73. It is built from greenstone, limestone and brick. Inside there is a 15th-century font, and an alabaster monument to Sir Adrian Scrope who died in 1623, attributed to Epiphanius Evesham.[1]
South Cockerington Hall was demolished in 1926.[2]
In the village were four almshouses which are now a Grade II listed house, dating from about 1890, built in red brick.[3]
