Wildmore is a civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 9 miles (14 km) north-west from the town of Boston and 11 miles (18 km) south from Horncastle.
Henry I afforested the whole of the fenland area and these continued to be the Kings hunting grounds until 1230 in the reign of Henry III.[3]
Henry II gave Horncastle to Gerbald Skalls, Scrivelsby to Robert Marmion and Kirkstead Abbey the Hermitage of Wildmore.[3] Skalls and Marmion gave the monks of Kirkstead right of common pasture in Wildmore.[3]
By 1222 the Abbot of Kirkstead, styled Lord of Wildmore, possessed the whole of Wildmore with the exception of Moorhouses which belonged to Revesby Abbey.[3]
Wildmore Fen was not drained until 1802, being part of the drainage plans of the East, West, and Wildmore Fens.[4]
In 1816 the church, known as Frog Hall, was built of red brick, sandstone and limestone.[6] It was dedicated to Saint Peter and is a Grade II listed building.[6]
Today Saint Peters Church is one of the Brothertoft Group in the Diocese of Lincoln, also known as "Five in the Fen",[7] which also includes St Gilbert of Sempringham (Brothertoft), All Saints (Holland Fen), Christ Church (Kirton Holme) and St Margaret of Scotland (Langrick).
Windmill
Haven Bank Windmill was built in the early 19th century of red brick and is a Grade II listed building.[8]
