Hemingby Almshouses
Row of almshouses seen to the N boundary of the churchyard. There is an inscription which reads 'This Hospital and School were erected in the year 1727 by Jane Dymoke'
Jane Dymoke established a yearly allowance for four poor widows of Lincolnshire to live in the hospital. There was a 145 acre farm associated with the hospital for revenue purposes. The four almswomen received a weekly allowance of two shillings and thrupence, plus coal.
Jane Dymoke's charity also allowed for about four apprentices to be in training in Hemingby at any one time.
