Oxcombe is a small village in the civil parish of Maidenwell, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 3 miles (5 km) west from the A16 road, 6 miles (10 km) south from Louth and 6 miles north-east from Horncastle.
Oxcombe was previously a parish in its own right, although small; in the 1870s it comprised 27 people and 4 houses[1]
In 1931 the parish had a population of 47.[2] On 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished to form Maidenwell.[3]
To the south of Oxcombe lies the parish of Worlaby and to the east, that of Ruckland.[4]
The parish name may have been derived from the Old English oxa+coomb which means ox valley.[4]
