The village is close to Sleaford, eleven kilometres away. The best way to get there is from the A153, starting from the B1130 Walcott Road. North Kyme is also close to Billinghay, just south of there. In 2001 there were over 1,808 people living there. There is only one school in the region, the Billinghay Primary School. The old Lafford High School closed, as fewer students live in Billinghay today.

Billinghay is twinned with Ballon, its sister village in the Sarthe portion of France. The Billinghay Parish Council was first recorded in a Minute Book from 1893, and Vestry Meeting minutes from 1879.

Like many other small villages in 1086, Billinghay has a mention in the Domesday book. It’s believed that the word “Billinghay” means fishery, in the Saxon language. The topography differed back in the 11th century, until it was altered by village folk. A small settlement was located on a mound, which was surrounded by a marsh. The marsh would flood over in the winter. The fens were eventually drained, and today, Billinghay is surrounded by rich agricultural land.

The village’s principal church is the St. Michael and All Angel’s Church. This parish church was built sometime during the 13th century. It’s an Anglican church that is a part of the Car Dyke group of parishes, which include Tattershall Bridge. The Car Dyke region is actually a long expanse of a green covered ditch, that was created during the Roman age. It runs long the western edge of the Fens in England, and many parishes are situated along it.

The church also has an ancient graveyard on site. A grass cutter is employed to maintain the cemetery, and grassy regions around the church.  There are two other churches located in the village: The Bethel Chapel— a Baptist church, and a Methodist church.

Residents of Billinghay have many amenities. There is a marketplace to shop for fresh local produce and flowers. A war memorial pays homage to the heroes of WWII. There is a play area located beside the village, and also an enclosed area for younger children. A zip line and a skate park are enjoyed by older kids.
