History

Billinghay is in the Domesday Book written in 1087. The name Billinghay means stream or island of the Billas people, and Billa would have been their leader.

Billinghay was a gravel island and must have been lonely and isolated place. The Roman Car Dyke is to the east of the village and the river Skirth to the south. The village is surrounded by fenlands which were mostly flooded in winter.
