South Hykeham is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles (5 km) south-west from the city and county town of Lincoln, and on the A46 road. Since 1931, South Hykeham formed part of the civil parish of Aubourn Haddington and South Hykeham,[1] but this relationship was broken in 1991 and South Hykeham is again a civil parish.[2][3]
South Hykeham is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, in which it is described as "Hichum",[4] with 14 households and two fisheries.[5]
The Grade II* listed parish church is dedicated to Saint Michael and dates from the 13th century, although it was restored and added to by Drury and Mortimer in 1869.[6]
South Hykeham Community Primary School was built in 1869 as a National school.[7]
