History of Horncastle
The Roman walls remain in places - one section is on display in the town’s library, which was built over the top of the wall. The Saxons called the town Hyrnecastre, from which its modern name was derived. Horncastle is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as consisting of 41 households, including 29 villagers and twelve smallholders, and had 100 acres (0 km2) of meadow and two mills, all belonging to King William. Dating from the 13th century prior to the Reformation, the Anglican parish church is dedicated to Saint Mary. In the Early English style, it is a Grade II*listed building. It was extensively restored between 1859 and 1861 by Ewan Christian.
