Alvingham is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.
[2] The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Aluingeham", meaning "Homestead of the Ælfingas (the tribe of Ælf)".
In the pre-norman period, as the Lincolnshire coastline grew further into what had previously been tidal salt marsh, people from Alvingham settled the nearby village of Conisholme.
The 16th-century poet and translator Barnabe Googe inherited lands of the former Alvingham Priory after his father's death.
On Alvingham Fen it meets Conisholme and the Seven Towns North Eau, one of the constituents of the River Lud as it approaches the coast.
