Messingham is a sizeable village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England, lying a short distance north of Scunthorpe in predominantly agricultural countryside. The village sits as a local hub between rural farmland and the industrial belt around Scunthorpe, so its geography mixes open fields, small woodlands and pockets of semi-rural development that make it popular for walkers and families seeking village life within easy reach of larger towns.
Historically it grew as an agricultural community around its parish church and retains a strong local identity with village shops, pubs, sports clubs and annual community events; in the 20th century many residents found work in nearby industry while more recent decades have seen commuter and residential growth. Local social life centres on grassroots clubs and the village hall, and the surrounding landscape supports small nature areas and farmland enterprises that help define Messingham’s character.
