Ludborough

Ludborough is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 5mi north from Louth, and at the eastern end of the A18 road. Ludborough has a population of 191 people. The Prime Meridian passes to the east of the village. HistoryEvidence of Neolithic activity in the area was confirmed by a find, in the 1970s, of a stone axe believed to be of the Langdale type. While aerial photographs in 2010 led to the identification of a rectangular enclosure dating to the Iron Age or Roman period as cropmarks. In A Dictionary of British Place Names, A. D. Mills interprets Ludborough's name to mean a 'fortified place' that may be associated in some way with the Lincolnshire town of Louth. In the Domesday Book of 1086, Ludborough had 38 freeman and was considered 'very large'. Before the Conquest lordship was held by Thorgot Lag, and after, Berengar of Tosny, with Robert of Tosny as tenant-in-chief and the head of the manor at Binbrook.
