[3] Cox noted that on the right hand side of road from Billingborough to Horbling is a tumulus, probably of pre-historic origin.

[5][6] A hamlet of Horbling, Bridge End, (previously also Holland Brigg) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the east, is the site of the small Gilbertine priory of St Saviour, founded in 1199 by Godwin the Rich of Lincoln.

A parcel of land and messuage at the head of the causeway near the priory was given by Robert Jokem of Horbling to St Saviour's, to support the work of the canons.

[10] In 1816, Marrat recorded that Bridge End "consists of a few farm houses, and a tolerably good Inn."

[11] According to a district council notice board at the site, the fair, traditionally held on 23 June, was probably dedicated to St Ætheldreda.

[12] In 1885 Kelly's Directory noted that the village was on the Bourne and Sleaford branch of the Great Northern Railway, and that the principal dwellings were supplied by the Billingborough and Horbling Gas Company.

A school for boys and girls was originally established by Edward Brown of Horbling (d.1692) with endowments provided by income from his lands at Wigtoft.

[12] Billingboro and Horbling railway station closed in 1964, after ceasing to be a passenger carrier over 30 years previously.

Stained glass in the west window was added in 1854 as testimonial to Benjamin Smith (1776–1857),[13] local solicitor and promoter of charities,[19] who paid for the 1852 restoration of church.

It has an added 1981 inscription commemorating the marriage of the Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer, and is Grade II* listed.

[24] The Old Vicarage is a Grade II c.1870 red-brick house on Church Lane,[25] with its listed carriagehouse and tack room.
