Village population is about 375.〔(Saxonwell Parish Website )〕 ==History== Sedgebrook is mentioned in the ''Domesday Book'' as Sechebroc〔(Domesday Book Online )〕 in the wapentake of Winnibriggs.〔(Open Domesday: Sedgebrook )〕 Robert Malet and three mills were noted. Sechebroc means "Brook where sedge grows", from OE secg "sedge" and brôc "a brook"〔(Dated Placenames from Lincolnshire: S-Z )〕 The parish church of St Lawrence is a largely 15th-century building, with an early 13th-century north arcade and a 14th-century chancel arch.〔(Retrieved 6 November 2010. )〕 A pamphlet history of the church was published in 1980 and republished in 1990.〔''St Lawrence Church, Sedgebrook. A Short History.''〕 The church is the only Grade I listed building in the village. Sedgebrook Manor House is Grade II * listed.
