Wyham cum Cadeby All Saints

 

The Parish

The parish of Wyham, which includes the former medieval parish of Cadeby, lies in northeastern Lincolnshire roughly 7 miles north of the market town of Louth. Both settlements are deserted medieval villages with no modern village at all. Cadeby has merely its 18th century hall and a farm or two, whilst Wyham, at least, retains a few more properties. Both former villages sit about a half mile west of the A18 road which connects Louth with Brigg, Cadeby being a mile to the north of Wyham. It is believed that both lost their populations as a result of the Black Death. Both settlements sit on the eastern edge of Lincolnshire's Wolds, the A18 marking the boundary between these low hills and the coastal plain. Like most Lincolnshire parishes the area is totally farmed as arable, mainly cereals. Small streams drain off the Wolds onto the coastal plains where man has much modified the drainage, water is channeled to the North Sea arriving through Tetney Lock. Wyham is sited at around 70 metres above the sea with Cadeby 20 metres lower, to the west land rises steadily onto the Wolds with local heights of 131 metres reached in a couple of miles. The combined parish was fairly typically sized for the area, covering close to 1,400 acres it would have supported a population of around 100 parishioners. In Domesday times Cadeby was held by Count Alan of Brittany and offered just 3 ploughs whilst Wyham, shared between Ivo Tallboys and the Bishop of Lincoln held 6 ploughs and the usual meadows and woodland.


The Church

All Saints' church sits in what is left of Wyham, a settlement with no road but a roughly surfaced track, a public right of way, leading to it. The church had such a small congregation that it was declared redundant in 1982 and Pevsner reported it as being used as a store. The church shows ancient traces despite an extensive Victorian restoration, Pevsner notes the herring-bone masonry in both northern & southern walls of the chancel indicative of an 11th century origin for that piece. Much else dates from that restoration of 1886. Given the redundancy and position it is not known how long visits may be made, at least public access to the edge of the site is enabled by that right of way passing the churchyard.
