Holton-le-Clay is a village and civil parish located in the northernmost part of the East Lindsey district and is a part of Lincolnshire in England's East Midlands region. It covers more than 1,500 acres and is situated five miles south of the town of Grimsby and 150 north of London.

The History of Holton-le-Clay

Archaeologists who explored the area have found signs of life during the prehistoric and Roman times, and they've also uncovered earthworks that date back to the Medieval Ages. Holton-le-Clay appeared in the Domesday Book in 1086 (in which it was recorded as “Holtone”) as well as in Kelly's Directory in 1885. Over the years, its manor fell into the hands of different owners, from men named Swein and Thorgisl to one called Ivo Taillebois and eventually to the Duchy of Lancaster.

Holton-le-Clay began to see development over time. A Wesleyan chapel was constructed in 1827 and a Primitive Methodist was put up nine years later, around 1836. The village went on to have two railway stations, Holton-le-Clay railway station and Holton Village Halt. Both of them were part of the East Lincolnshire Railway but are no longer used nowadays.
