Lenton is a hamlet in the district of South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately {{convert|7|mi|km|0}} south-east from Grantham, and is part of the Lenton, Keisby and Osgodby civil parish .

Village

The village is sometimes known as Lavington, and the name may have come from the Old English Lâfa, and the characteristic suffix -ton.[1] The village is listed in the Domesday Book as "Lavintone".[2]

Lenton parish church is dedicated to St Peter.[3][4]

The ecclesiastical parish is part of the North Beltisloe Group of parishes[5] in the Deanery of Beltisloe in the Diocese of Lincoln.[6] From 2006 to 2011 the incumbent was The Revd Richard Ireson,[7] who was succeeded by The Revd Mike Doyle in 2012.[8]

The village erected a new Lychgate to mark the Millennium.[4] A previous exhibition to raise funds for the church, The Host of Angels Experience, returned in 2012.[4][8]

Lavington Lake is a local fishing facility.[https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/329791]

Other hamlets in the area are Hanby, Keisby Osgodby and Pickworth. Larger villages close by include Ropsley, Folkingham and Ingoldsby.[9]
