Langrick is a small village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is in the civil parish of Langriville, and on the B1192 road, 5miles north-west from Boston. The village lies in the Lincolnshire Fens, and less than 1miles east from the River Witham.
The name Langrick appears to come from "Long Creek"[1] and is at the very southern edge of Wildmore Fen, in an area which was once the manor of Armtree, in the parish of Coningsby.[2] It was once the site of a hermitage belonging to Kirkstead Abbey. When Langrick and Langriville were enclosed in 1812 there was not a single house existing.[3] Langrick's importance was that it was the site of a ferry crossing over the River Witham, reputedly built by Robert Dymoke.[2] The river was straightened in 1833.
A steel bridge, still in use, was built in the southern neighbouring settlement of Langrick Ferry in 1909, replacing a previous ferry over the Witham.
Saint Margaret of Scotland Church was built in 1828, probably by Jeptha Pacey, but was not dedicated until 20 April 1922.[4] It is a Grade II listed building and was restored and altered in 1885. The registers of births and deaths date from 1831, and those of marriages from 1837.[4] The church was restored again and redecorated in 1935, and further work was carried out in 1968.[4]
Today, the church forms part of the Brothertoft Group, in the Diocese of Lincoln, also known as 'Five in the Fen', which also includes:[5]
Langrick railway station was on the now dismantled Great Northern Railway railway line between Lincoln and Boston. A cafe stands on the site of the station master's house and booking office.[6]
The Water Rail Way follows the route of the old dismantled railway line from Lincoln to Boston and can be joined at Langrick.[7]
Near the site of the old railway line is the Ferry Boat Inn public house.[8]
