Manby, Lincolnshire

Flower Delivery to Manby with Clare Florist

Located in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, Manby is a small village located about five miles east of the village of Louth. Just over 830 people live in Manby and the town itself is fairly representative of the other villages in the Lincolnshire region.
Manby is rather typical of many small communities in England, but it does offer a school, two shops, an Italian restaurant and the Lancaster Inn public house which was formally known as the Manby Arms. Manby is also joined to the village of Grimoldby which lies on the other side of the B1200 road which runs near the town.
One interesting fact about Manby is that it has one of two scout groups in the region that includes all the sections from Beaver up to Skegness. The scouting group has existed in the town for over 60 years.

As with the history of most of England, the first settlers in the region arrived after the last period of glaciations several thousand years ago. Over the centuries, the area surrounding Manby was visited by different civilizations from the Romans to the Saxons and Normans before elements of the village began forming.

As with many towns of that size in the region, it was settled centuries ago as a mostly agrarian community that offered plenty of farmland to support the local people.

The RAF made its presence felt in Manby from 1938 just before World War II started up to 1974 when the base was finally abandoned. During that time there were houses built in Manby to house RAF personnel and there were even streets in the community that were names after the aircraft used at the nearby base. The airfield itself was initially sold for commercial use, but it has since been deconstructed and now the area has returned to the farmland that it once was with a cattle fattening plant located on the grounds.
In addition, you can find the headquarters of the East Lindsey District Council which occupies one of the buildings that remain on the site. For a short time there was a move to make the site into an eco-town that would house up to 5,000 people, but after some protesting by the local residents the district council removed the village from consideration.
