Waddingham
Waddingham is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is geographically situated to the east of the A15 road, south-east from Scunthorpe and north from Lincoln. According to the 2001 Census Waddingham had a population of 548.
==History==
Originally there were two settlements, Stainton (where the present church is) and Wadingham, which were on either side of the Waddingham Beck which runs through the village. Both settlements are mentioned in the ''Domesday Book'' but they existed long before then. Both places have Anglo Saxon names: Stainton is derived from The Old English "Stan" (stone), and the Old English "Tun" (farm), meaning stony farm. Waddingham is derived from two common OE suffixes: "ing" (person), or "ingas" (people), and "ham" (village or settlement), meaning the village of, or belonging to, the Wada family or tribe. (''University of Nottingham Institute for Name Studies'').
St Mary & St Peter (originally St Peter) church chancel arch is 13th-century, the tower being a 15th-century addition. The church was largely rebuilt in 1862. Apart from the church, no extant structures can be dated with certainty prior to the early 18th century, and there are only a handful of those.
The cottages which once comprised the entrance to the yard and stables, close to the church, may be of 17th-century origin. Nevertheless, it is possible to judge that Waddingham was a large and important village prior to the population migration into towns and cities of the 18th and 19th centuries. As elsewhere in England, the wattle and daub thatched dwelling have not survived, but the size of the village green gives testimony to the very considerable economic activity which must have centred on the village.
