The Grade II Listed Church of St Mary, Church Lane, Hundleby, East Lindsey, Lincolnshire.

 

The 14th-century medieval church was mostly torn down in 1854-55 and reconstructed using the original greenstone. Only the base of the tower and nave remain of the former church.

 

Hundleby is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Hundelbi", with Ivo Tallboys as Lord of the Manor. This was long an agricultural area, a centre for sugar beet production.

 

Spilsby Union Workhouse was built in Hundleby in 1837, to designs by George Gilbert Scott. After 1930 it became a Public Assistance Institution. In 1948 it was converted to the Gables Hospital providing geriatric care. It was eventually closed and demolished.
