[2] At that time the Horsington Anglican rectory and living was in the gift of Magdelen College, Oxford, as principal landowner and provider of the village Lords of the Manor.

[4] In 1872 White's Directory reported that Horsington had a population of 397 within a parish of 1,700 acres (7 km2) that extends to Hare Booth 5 miles (8 km) south on the River Witham and includes farms and a wood.

A 1760 enclosure of parish land provided 290 acres (1.2 km2) of glebe land—an area of land used to support a parish priest—in lieu of tithes [tax income from parishioners derived from their profit on sales, or extraction of produce and animals, typically to the tenth part], with a further 14 acres in South Somercotes.

Professions and trades listed in 1872 included the rector, a parish clerk, a schoolmaster, a farm bailiff, a blacksmith, a dressmaker, a shoemaker, two shopkeepers, a coal dealer, a bricklayer, a carpenter, a wheelwright, a miller, a beer retailer, the licensed victualler of the Baronet Inn, and thirteen farmers, one of whom was also a miller.

[5] Apart from the All Saints' Church, other Grade II listed buildings are three cottages on the village's Main Street, and a ruined 13th-century chapel at Poolham Hall.
