Edlington is a village in the parish of Edlington with Wispington, in East Lindsey Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 2 miles (3.2 km) north-west of Horncastle. In 1961 the parish had a population of 105.[1] On 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished and merged with Wispington to form Edlington with Wispington.[2]
