It is unknown when the farm was established, but it was named after the nearby former Lindley Hall, which was once present on the Leicestershire countryside near Higham on the Hill.

Five years following the death of the Lindley Hall estate's owner (Lieutenant Commander Francis Eyre RN), Lindley Hall and the Roman Catholic chapel beside it were ultimately demolished, being one of the country houses and estates in the Nuneaton area to fall victim to redevelopment.

[2] In October 2002, using global satellite positioning,[3] the Ordnance Survey initiated a study to find the geographical centre of England, challenging previous myths that the geographical centre of England was located in places such as Meriden in the West Midlands, approximately 11 kilometres to the south of Lindley Hall Farm, which had traditionally claimed to be the geographical centre of England, having a 500-year-old monument claiming the title.

[2] They found that the geographical centre was located on a field in Lindley Hall Farm, with the new OS grid reference being SP 36373.66, 96143.05.

Due to Lindley Hall Farm being private property, tourist access for the proposed geographical central point of England has been restricted.
