Hatton is a small village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It is found three miles east of the town of Wragby, and six miles north-west of Horncastle, just north of the A158 road. Neighbouring villages include Sotby, Panton and Great Sturton.

Hatton Wood, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, lies a mile to the south-west of the village. It forms part of the Bardney Limewoods National Nature Reserve.[1] Hatton Meadows, a nature reserve belonging to the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, lies to the north of Hatton Wood.[2]

The National Transmission System has one of its twenty six compressor stations, driven by three gas turbines, just off the A158 west of the village at Hatton Bridge.

St Stephen's Church

Hatton church is dedicated to St Stephen, and is a Grade II listed building dating from the 13th century, rebuilt in 1870 by James Fowler.[3]

Near the village is the site of a deserted mediæval village, Schankeston.[4]

There is a pub on the A158, The New Midge.
