Hemingby Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Margaret.[2] Originating in the 14th century it was rebuilt in 1764, and again in 1895.[3]
In 1885 Kelly's noted that one of the principal landowners was Earl Manvers. The parish was of 2,527 acres (10 km2) and chief agricultural production was of barley and turnips. A then reported 1859 Wesleyan Methodist chapel building still exists.[4] A free school was founded in 1727 by Jane Lady Dymoke; her endowment provided for the employment of a school master and mistress, and for the clothing and apprenticeship of school children. She also established four almshouses for poor widows;[5] these are today listed buildings.[6] Further listed buildings are the late 18th-century Rookery cottage,[7] and the mid-18th-century Old Rectory[8] with its early 19th-century coach house.[9]
The Methodist chapel existed as such until 1978, the building being converted to a private house in 2007.[citation needed]
The village Coach and Horses public house is a former coaching inn on the old Louth to Lincoln coaching route.[citation needed]
On 18 April 2007 Radio Lincolnshire briefly changed its name to BBC Radio Hemingby for a day, and broadcast from the village.[10]
