**Cuxwold** is a village and former [civil parish](/source/Civil_parish), now in the parish of [Swallow](/source/Swallow,_Lincolnshire), in the [West Lindsey](/source/West_Lindsey) district of [Lincolnshire](/source/Lincolnshire), England. It lies in the [Lincolnshire Wolds](/source/Lincolnshire_Wolds), 4 miles (6 km) east from [Caistor](/source/Caistor) and 10 miles (16 km) south-west from [Grimsby](/source/Grimsby). In 1931 the parish had a population of 98.[1] On 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished and merged with Swallow.[2]

Cuxwold [Grade II*](/source/Listed_building#Categories_of_listed_building) listed [Anglican](/source/Anglican) church is dedicated to [St Nicholas](/source/St_Nicholas).[3] The church, of 11th-century origin but with an incorporated earlier [Saxon](/source/Anglo-Saxon_architecture) tower arch, was considerably restored and rebuilt in 1860 by [James Fowler](/source/James_Fowler_(architect)).[4][5] The restoration was carried-out under instruction from Henry Thorold, who, in the 1870s, added a monument to his family within the church.[3] Within the village is a further Grade II listed building, Cuxwold Hall, built in 1860.[6]

Cuxwold was the location of an emergency landing ground for airplanes during the Second World War and is now the home of Grimsby Airfield.[7]
