Bassingham is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 1,425.[1] The village is situated approximately 8miles south-west of Lincoln.
Bassingham is situated about midway between Newark-on-Trent and Lincoln. The parish is defined by the River Witham to the west, and the River Brant to the east (across Bassingham Fen). To the south-west is Carlton-le-Moorland.
A Ham class minesweeper, HMS Bassingham, was named after the village.[2]
The church of St. Michael and All Angels was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.[3] The church is in the Bassingham Group of seven churches.
In 1998 the church added a seventh bell: the ship's bell from HMS Bassingham, presented by her former commander after she was decommissioned. It hangs in a mahogany bell hood in the north aisle and is rung to signal the start of Sunday worship.
Bassingham has two public houses, the Five Bells and the Bugle Horn, a primary school, and a Methodist chapel.
