About Us

Our Church

Horsington lies about 2 miles North East of Stixwould and 4 miles North of Woodhall Spa. 

The name derives from the Old English Horsa+ing+tun, meaning "estate or farm belonging to Horsa". It appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as Horsintone.

The old church was All Hallows, the site of which is shown in the fields to the South West of our village at a point which is almost equidistant from Stixwould in the South, Bucknall to the West and Horsington village itself. It is said to have traditionally been the common church of all three parishes before the current church was built.

Before the building of the new church and following All Hallows falling into an unusable condition, services were held in an old Tithe Barn at Manor Farm.

The present church of Horsington is quite modern being built in 1860 in place of a previous very poor thatched structure. It was designed by David Brandon, built in Victorian style.
