Binbrook is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is on the B1203 almost 8 miles northeast of Market Rasen.
Previously a larger market town,[1] it now has a population of about 700.
Binbrook Grade II listed[2] Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Mary and St Gabriel. There were two village churches, St Mary and St Gabriel, since disappeared. A new church with joint dedication was built in 1869 by James Fowler.[1][3]
Binbrook is close to the site of Binbrook Airfield, originally opened as RAF Binbrook; the airfield housing is now the new village of Brookenby.
[edit] Orford
The parish of Binbrook contains the site of the lost medieval village of Orford.[4] Orford was the site of a priory of Premonstratensian nuns. The priory was founded around 1170 by Ralf d'Albini of the Anglo-Norman baronial house of Mowbray, and was endowed with the church at Wragby. At the time of suppression in 1539, it held a prioress and 7 nuns.[1]
