Hemswell

Hemswell ward covers a largely rural expanse in West Lindsey, featuring the villages of Hemswell, Harpswell, and Springthorpe. The landscape is dominated by agricultural land, with fields and farmsteads defining the area's character. The ward includes the former RAF Hemswell base, a significant historical site whose structures now host a large antiques centre and various businesses. This repurposed airfield is a central feature of the local economy and landscape.

Community life is centred around the individual villages, each with its own parish council and local amenities. The area is primarily residential for those working in agriculture or commuting to larger towns. The presence of the old airfield, with its distinct rows of hangars and married quarters, creates a unique visual and functional element within the otherwise traditional Lincolnshire countryside.
