Wickenby is a small rural parish in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles north‑east of Lincoln. The landscape is typical low‑lying Lincolnshire countryside, with arable fields and a compact village feel; it supports a close‑knit community in which farming remains important alongside some residents who commute to nearby towns.
The parish is best known for its aviation heritage: RAF Wickenby was an active Bomber Command station during the Second World War and the former base now operates as Wickenby Airfield, a small general‑aviation hub that keeps that history alive through flying activity and remembrance events. The village also retains a historic parish church, St Peter's Church, and a handful of traditional brick and stone buildings that reflect its agricultural and historic roots.
