HADDINGTON, a small village and township on the north bank of the Witham, 7 miles S.W. of Lincoln, contains 91 souls, and 910 acres of land, in the parishes of Aubourn and South Hyckham, to
which latter 60 acres of land were allotted at the enclosure in lieu of tithes, but a yearly modus is paid
for the Auborn tithes. It includes the two farms called Howsham, l and1/3 mile W. of the village, near the
Roman Fossway. Ralph Nevile, Esq., is lord of the manor, and owner of most of the soil. Mr. Foster
owns one farm, and the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln about 60 acres. There was anciently a church or
chapel here, and its site may still be traced. The poor have a share of Nevile’s and Russell’s charities,
as noticed with Aubourn and Hyckham.
