History
In 1860 the
Wesleyan Chapel.[4]
In 1872 White's Directory reported that Horsington had a population of 397 within a parish of 1,700 acres (7 km2) that extends to Hare Booth 5 miles (8 km) south on the River Witham and includes farms and a wood. Stixwould railway station was 4 miles (6.4 km) to the east. The 1860 brick built All Saints Church was a replacement for the earlier thatched church.
A significant area of parish land was part of the
tithes [tax income from parishioners derived from their profit on sales, or extraction of produce and animals, typically to the tenth part], with a further 14 acres in South Somercotes. Over 5 acres of land had been allotted to the ecclesiastical parish to service church upkeep "from time immemorial". About 1 mile (1.6 km) from the church was recorded a burial ground of about one acre, which was purchased by parishioners 100 years previously. The Wesleyans and Independent
churches had each a chapel at Horsington.
A
licensed victualler of the Baronet Inn, and thirteen farmers, one of whom was also a miller.[5]
Apart from the All Saints' Church, other Grade II listed buildings are three cottages on the village's Main Street, and a ruined 13th-century chapel at Poolham Hall.[6]
