NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE PARISH #50: MESSINGHAM
Messingham is one of the Southernmost extremities of North Lincolnshire, sited as it is on the A159, 4 miles south of the centre of Scunthorpe and 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the M180
The name Messingham is of Anglo-Saxon origin. It derives from the Maessingus tribe meaning “home of the Maessa and his people”. Through much of the middle ages, it was called Massingham
It’s been spelt various ways through time too. The modern spelling wasn’t recorded until 1877, and it was often spelt a Y as opposed to an I.
In 1772, John Wesley was known to preach in Messingham, and we’ll discuss where as we walk around
The village has a history of sheep farming, but industrially Messingham is linked with Scunthorpe Steelworks which was and still is a major employer of local people.
Sand is an important mineral resource in the area too. Some sand quarries have now become exhausted but have been put to good use. We’ll see an example of that at the end
In 2018 the parish of Holme which adjoined Messingham to the East Parish amalgamated with Messingham, forming one of the largest parish areas in North Lincolnshire
It’s a big village with a lot to cover, so without further ado, here’s Messingham folks!
