About

Horncastle ward covers the market town of Horncastle and its immediate surrounding rural parishes within the East Lindsey district. The area is defined by its position where the River Bain meets the River Waring. The town's layout still follows its historic medieval street pattern, with a central marketplace that remains a focal point for local commerce and community events.

A key characteristic is the town's historical connection to the Roman settlement of Banovallum, evidence of which is integrated into the local environment. The ward contains the notable Horncastle Canal, a short-lived but historically significant waterway whose remnants contribute to the landscape. Agricultural land and smaller villages form the ward's outskirts, supporting a mix of traditional farming and local services oriented around the town centre.
