Welcome to Horkstow

Horkstow is a small village located in the North Lincolnshire district of Lincolnshire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Ancholme and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history and is home to several historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St. Maurice's Church, which dates back to the 12th century.

One of the most notable features of Horkstow is the Horkstow Bridge, which spans the River Ancholme. The bridge was built in 1889 and is a popular spot for fishing and boating. The bridge is also famous for its appearance in the folk song "The Horkstow Grange," which tells the story of a murder that took place near the bridge in the 19th century.

Despite its small size, Horkstow has a strong sense of community and is home to several local businesses, including a pub and a village hall. The village also hosts several events throughout the year, including a summer fete and a Christmas fair. Horkstow is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers a glimpse into rural life in Lincolnshire.
