Kirmington is a village in North Lincolnshire, England.[1] It is part of the civil parish of Kirmington and Croxton.[2] From the 2011 census the village became a civil parish in its own name. Kirmington is situated just north from the A18 road, 5 miles (8 km) west from Immingham and 7 miles (11 km) east from Brigg. Less than 1 mile (1.6 km) to the west is Humberside International Airport, the former Second World War station, RAF Kirmington.
Kirmington's recorded population in the 2001 Census was 337,[1] increasing to 365 in the 2011 Census.[3]
The village Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Helena.[4] The church is in Perpendicular and Decorated style, with chancel nave and vestry, and a 12th-century tower. In 1838 a wooden spire covered in copper was added.
The church was restored in 1859 by Samuel Sanders Teulon, who rebuilt both aisles and re-roofed the nave.[5] St Helena's is part of the Brocklesby Park Group of the Deanery of Yarborough.[6] St Helena was the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine.[7]
A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1835, rebuilt in 1885, and was closed in 1976.[8]
The village school is Kirmington St Helena's Church of England Primary school, built in the 19th century, and extended, with additional facilities for pre-school children, in 2007.[9]
Kirmington is twinned with Terbregge, in the Netherlands. This relationship commemorates Operation Manna, in which planes from RAF Kirmington dropped 3,000 food parcels in April and May 1945.[10]
