Allington is a village and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, 3 miles (5 km) north-west of Grantham.

[4] Allington's Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity.

[3] The poet George Crabbe (1754–1832) became the incumbent of Muston, Leicestershire and West Allington in 1789, remaining until 1792.

The combined area of both parishes was 2,070 acres (8 km2), two-thirds of which was owned by the lord of the manor, John Earle Welby of Allington Hall.

The ecclesiastical parish of Holy Trinity Church in West Allington was a rectory in the gift of the Lord Chancellor; the incumbent, in lieu of tithes, received 220 acres (0.89 km2) of glebe – an area of land used to support a parish priest – and a rectory house built in 1870 for £1,250.

The parish of East Allington, under St James Church (restored in 1855), received a benefice which was combined with that of Sedgebrook, and included 167 acres (0.68 km2) of glebe.

Professions and trades listed in 1872 for West Allingon were the parish rector, a tailor, two joiners & undertakers, and four farmers, two of whom were also graziers.
