Welcome to Candlesby

Candlesby is a small village located in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The village is situated approximately 5 miles north-west of the market town of Spilsby and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a population of around 200 people and is known for its historic church, St Benedict's, which dates back to the 13th century.

The village of Candlesby has a rich history and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The village was once home to a castle, which was built in the 12th century by the de Candelis family. The castle was destroyed during the English Civil War and only the earthworks remain today. The village also played a role in the Lincolnshire Rising of 1536, which was a rebellion against King Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries.

Today, Candlesby is a peaceful and picturesque village, with many residents working in agriculture or commuting to nearby towns for work. The village has a small primary school, a village hall, and a pub, The Red Lion, which is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The surrounding countryside offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and horse riding, making Candlesby a great place to live or visit for those who enjoy the outdoors.
