Welcome to Hemswell

Hemswell is a small village located in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The village is situated on the A631 road, which connects Gainsborough to Louth. Hemswell is known for its rich history and heritage, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. The village is home to several historic landmarks, including the Hemswell Court, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 18th century.

One of the most notable features of Hemswell is its proximity to the Hemswell Antique Centre, which is one of the largest antique centres in Europe.

Today, the centre is home to over 400 dealers, offering a wide range of antiques and collectibles. Visitors can spend hours browsing through the various stalls, which offer everything from vintage clothing to antique furniture.

Despite its small size, Hemswell is a vibrant and welcoming community. The village is home to several local businesses, including a post office, a pub, and a village hall. The village also hosts several events throughout the year, including a summer fete and a Christmas market. Hemswell is a great place to visit for those looking to experience the charm and character of a traditional English village.
