Wyham cum Cadeby (otherwise Wyham with Caldeby[1]) is a depopulated civil parish[2] in the East Lindsey[3] district of Lincolnshire, England. The nearest village is Ludborough (where any remaining population is included), about 1miles to the east on the A16 road, and the nearest town, Louth, 5miles to the south.

Wyham cum Cadeby consists of the remaining hamlet of Wyham and the former village of Cadeby, otherwise North Cadeby, both settlements a deserted medieval village.

The parish church, dedicated to All Saints, once seated 90. It was restored in 1886[4] and declared redundant and sold in 1982.[5] The parish records are held in Lincoln.[6]

There is a former chalk quarry which has been converted to a clay and skeet shooting ground.
