Stickney is a linear village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.

The name means 'stick island', and is thought to refer to the linear shape of the village between two streams.

The ancient 13th-century Anglican parish church is dedicated to Saint Luke and is a Grade II listed building.

[5] Stickney was the home of Priscilla Biggadike, who in 1868 was charged and convicted of murdering her husband Richard by arsenic poisoning.

She testified that she had seen one of their lodgers, Thomas Proctor, putting a white powder into her husband's tea, and later into his medicine when Richard was being treated for a sudden attack of severe illness.

The judge in the case ruled that only Priscilla Biggadike should be prosecuted, and the jury quickly convicted her.

Years later on his deathbed, Proctor confessed to sole responsibility for the murder of Richard Biggadike.
