**Swinderby** is a village and [civil parish](/source/Civil_parish) in the [North Kesteven](/source/North_Kesteven) district of [Lincolnshire](/source/Lincolnshire), England, just north of the [A46 road](/source/A46_road),[1] 8 miles (13 km) south-west of [Lincoln](/source/Lincoln%2C_Lincolnshire) and 6 miles (10 km) north-east of [Newark](/source/Newark-on-Trent). Swinderby lies within a rural agricultural community and covers an area of 2,200 acres (9 km2). The population was 648 (including [HM Prison Morton Hall](/source/HM_Prison_Morton_Hall)) at the 2011 census.[2]

## History

The name 'Swinderby' is assumed to have originated either from "sundri + by" (southern farmstead or village), or "svin + djur + by" (farmstead where pigs are kept);[3] in the [Domesday Book](/source/Domesday_Book) of 1086 it is referred to as "Sunderby" and "Suindrebi".[4][5]

The settlement might date back to at least Roman times as Roman pottery and parts of the [Fosse Way](/source/Fosse_Way) have been found. Some village buildings date back to the 17th century.

The church of All Saints is predominantly [Norman](/source/Norman_architecture) and [Early English](/source/Early_English_Period), however restoration was carried out in 1854, 1879 and 1910.[6][7][8][9]

Wesleyan Chapel, now the *Light and Life Mission Hall*

In 1872 there was a Wesleyan chapel.[9][10]

### 1980 air crash

On Thursday 8 May 1980 a [BAC Jet Provost](/source/BAC_Jet_Provost) 'XW314' from [RAF Cranwell](/source/RAF_Cranwell) crashed, around 100 yds from the A46.

The pilots landed 1.5 miles away on the edge of Norton Disney woods.[11] Flt Lt Chris Massey was the instructor, of St Martin's Close in [Ancaster](/source/Ancaster%2C_Lincolnshire), a former Vulcan pilot of 44 Sqn at [RAF Waddington](/source/RAF_Waddington).[12] Fg Off PC Jones was the pilot being instructed. Fire engines arrived from Lincoln, [North Hykeham](/source/North_Hykeham), [Collingham](/source/Collingham%2C_Nottinghamshire) and [Newark](/source/Newark-on-Trent).[13][14]

## Community

The village has a public house, a church, a village hall, two playing fields and a primary school with nursery.[1][15]

The school is the All Saints' [Church of England Primary School](/source/Christian_school#United_Kingdom), which was rated as overall Grade 2 (good), in its 2012 [Ofsted](/source/Ofsted) inspection.[16]

Swinderby is close to the now closed RAF airfield, [RAF Swinderby](/source/RAF_Swinderby), which holds a bi-monthly antique and collectors fair that has been featured on BBC1's *Bargain Hunt*.[17]

News and event notices are carried in the village *Swinderby Link-up* magazine. This publication also includes adverts from local businesses.
