Metheringham is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England.
The earliest surviving document relating specifically to the village dates from 24 June 1314, in the reign of Edward II.
It also notes, "An ancient Cross, which stood in the village, was replaced by a new one in 1835, at the cost of about £25, and a market is now held round it on Saturday evenings.
The drainage of the parish is aided by a steam engine of 25-horse power, and has dried an ancient spring called Holywell."
[6] Metheringham lies 3 miles (4.8 km) east of the Lincoln Cliff escarpment, on the western edge of fenland extending south-east towards Boston and The Wash.
[10] The village has a primary school, a High Street cafe, a Co-op store, and a traditional butcher's shop, which has been trading for over 80 years.
Metheringham is served by an hourly daytime, Monday-to-Saturday bus between Boston and Lincoln, provided by Brylaine.
[13] There are regular direct Monday-to-Saturday train services to Lincoln, Doncaster, Sleaford, Spalding, Peterborough, and Leicester.
