Grayingham is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 123.[1] It is situated 1 mile (1.6 km) south from Kirton in Lindsey, 8 miles (13 km) north-east from Gainsborough and 8 miles south from Scunthorpe.

The name Grayingham derives from the Old English Gra(ga)+inga+ham for "homestead of the family of a man named Graeg". The name is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Graingeham".[2]

Grayingham Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to Saint Radegund.[3] Originating from the 13th and 14th century, it was rebuilt in 1773 or 1797, leaving the Early English tower and west doorway intact. A further restoration was carried out in 1870 by James Fowler. The 19th-century reredos is by A. B. Skipwith, and a copper-gilt relief of the Crucifixion is by Conrad Dressler.[3][4][5]

An extension to the south of the church was completed in Spring 2025, the church now has the addition of a servery, Toilet and extra meeting space.

Notable people

The English ecologist Adrian Woodruffe-Peacock was Rector of Grayingham towards the end of his life.[6] He died in this post in 1922.[6]

His sister, Mabel Peacock (1856–1920), English folklorist and writer is buried beside him in the churchyard.
