Cuxwold is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Swallow, in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds, 4 miles (6 km) east from Caistor and 10 miles (16 km) south-west from Grimsby. In 1931 the parish had a population of 98.[1] On 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished and merged with Swallow.[2]
Cuxwold Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Nicholas.[3] The church, of 11th-century origin but with an incorporated earlier Saxon tower arch, was considerably restored and rebuilt in 1860 by James Fowler.[4][5] The restoration was carried-out under instruction from Henry Thorold, who, in the 1870s, added a monument to his family within the church.[3] Within the village is a further Grade II listed building, Cuxwold Hall, built in 1860.[6]
Cuxwold was the location of an emergency landing ground for airplanes during the Second World War and is now the home of Grimsby Airfield.[7]
