Nocton

Nocton is a small village and civil parish in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles south of Lincoln. It sits in the gentle arable landscape of the Lincolnshire plain, with hedged fields, small copses and a network of country lanes and footpaths that make it quietly popular with walkers and cyclists.

Locally notable is Nocton Hall, the old estate house whose parkland shaped much of the village’s character and whose changing uses in the 20th century have influenced the community. The village today retains a largely agricultural economy with many residents commuting to nearby towns, and an engaged parish life centred on the village hall and church, reflecting the typical rural social and historic layers of Lincolnshire villages.
