Nettleham is a village and civil parish within the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, 4 miles (6.4 km) north-east of Lincoln between the A46 and A158.

The building was damaged during the Lincolnshire Rising of 1536 and completely demolished by 1650, only traces of foundations remaining on the site now called Bishop's Palace Field.

[3] Within the church's graveyard is a headstone in memory of Thomas Gardiner, a post-boy murdered hereabouts by two highway robbers in January 1733.

(Thomas Gardiner's headstone declares he was killed on 3 January 1732 since at the time Britain used the Julian Calendar.

)[4][5] The Royal Society for Nature Conservation (RSNC) had been based in Nettleham but moved to Newark-on-Trent in 1999.

The site became the home of the WATCH Trust for Environmental Conservation, but this also moved to Newark a few years later.
