Midville is a small village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It is about ten miles north of Boston.

The village was an extra-parochial allotment of the East Fen, which was drained between 1802 and 1813, and was constituted as a parochial township by an Act of Parliament passed in 1885. The East Fen is between Boston and Spilsby.

Midville church was built in 1819–20 and is a plain edifice of Georgian brick.

Midville railway station opened in 1913, and closed in 1970.[1]
