Allington is a village and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, five miles north-west of Grantham. At the time of the Norman conquest the name of the village was Adelinctune. The 2001 census gave a population of 728 for the parish.
Allington Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity.[1] Originally East and West Allington had their own churches but today only Holy Trinity survives.[2] The village pub is the Welby Arms.[3] The Old Manor House, built about 1660, is now a hotel.
The Viking Way, Sewstern Lane, passed through the village until 1997, but was diverted to follow a roadbridge over the A1. The primary school is shared with Sedgebrook.[4]
