Background
History
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Aluingeham", meaning "Homestead of the Ælfingas (the tribe of Ælf)". It was the location of a Gilbertine Alvingham Priory until the dissolution of the monasteries. In the pre-Norman period, as the Lincolnshire coastline grew further into what had previously been tidal salt marsh, people from Alvingham settled the nearby village of Conisholme. The 16th-century poet and translator Barnabe Googe inherited lands of the former Alvingham Priory after his father's death. Alvingham Mill is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
