Kirkby on Bain

Kirkby on Bain is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.

Formerly known as Kirkby Super Bain, the name comes from the Old Norse kîrkĵu + býr (Church settlement),[3] with the village dating back to at least the Viking Age.

The village public house is the Ebrington Arms on Main Street which dates back to at least the 16th Century.

[4][5] It was popular with airmen from the nearby RAF Woodhall Spa famed for its links with the 617 Squadron Dambusters.

[8][9] To the west are Kirkby and Roughton Moors; a landscape once dominated by Lowland Heath now restricted to Fox Hill, and beyond is Ostler's Plantation, a pine woodland owned by the Forestry Commission.
