Lea is a small, rural civil parish in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, set among the county’s rolling arable fields and hedgerow-lined lanes. The local economy is dominated by farming and associated rural trades, while a number of residents commute to nearby centres for work, so village life mixes traditional agricultural rhythms with more modern commuting patterns.
There’s a strong sense of local community, with parish events and village groups playing an important social role, and the built environment reflects a long history - cottages, farmhouses and a parish church point to origins often traceable to the medieval period.
