Panton is a village in the civil parish of East Barkwith, in the East Lindsey of district, Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 13miles north-east from the county town of Lincoln. In 1971 the parish had a population of 48.[1] On 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished and merged with East Barkwith and Wragby.[2]
Panton is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book with 32 households, 40acres of meadow and a church.[3]
The former St Andrews church, built in the 18th century, is Grade II listed. It was restored in 1905, when the chancel arch was built, and again 1925-30 by Christopher Turnor. Several 18th-century gravestones survive. The church is now a dwelling.[4]
