Lea is an electoral ward in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, occupying a largely rural patch of the county made up of arable fields, hedgerows and small villages and hamlets. The area’s built heritage tends to show its agricultural past, with village churches, traditional cottages and listed farm buildings punctuating the landscape.
Locally the economy is still strongly linked to farming alongside small businesses and a steady flow of commuters heading to nearby market towns and the city of Lincoln.
