Hainton is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the A157 road, 10 miles (16 km) west from Louth and 5 miles (8 km) south-east from Market Rasen.
Hainton is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Haintone", with 9 villagers, 2 smallholders, 1 freeman, and 100 acres (0.4 km2) of meadow, and given over to Ilbert of Lacy as Lord of the Manor.[2]
The village is the site of a medieval settlement, with evidence of earthworks indicating a ridge and furrow field system and crofts.[3]
In 1885 Kelly's Directory recorded a now listed school[4] built by G. F. Heneage in 1846. Agricultural production in the 2,306-acre (9.33 km2) parish was chiefly wheat, barley, oats and turnips.[5]
