Flower Delivery to Owmby with Clare Florist

The hamlet of Owmby is located in Lincolnshire, England. Owmby falls within the Searby cum Owmby civil parish which is in Lincolnshire’s West Lindsey district. The hamlet is about one mile away from the A1084 road and 4 miles from the Lincolnshire Wolds, which has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty because of its series of steep valleys and low hills containing limestone, sandstone, and chalk.

    Historians have conflicting opinions about what the name “Owmby” is supposed to mean. The “Dictionary of British Place Names” defines “Owm” as being a village or farmstead of a man named Authunn. Others believe it is an old Scandinavian name that means uncultivated land used as a village or settlement. In the Domesday Book of 1086, Owmby is called “Odenebi.” Records in the book show the hamlet has 19 houses, 11 freemen, 7 villagers, and 40 acres of meadowland. It also named the Lord of the Manor as being a man named William and the Tenant-in-chief as being William of Percy. The book doesn’t specify if these two people are the same person or not.

    There is no doubt that Owmby has been inhabited for at least a thousand years. Archaeologists have found earthworks which show there were medieval homesteads with land in the hamlet. The most notable structure in the hamlet that still exists today is the Tithe House, which is a farmhouse that was built in the 18th century and then later extended in the 20th century. The population of Owmby is currently unknown but it is likely less than 100 people. Farming was the only big industry to ever exist in Owmby, but farming activity there started to diminish throughout the 20th century. Now it is a place with few farmers and the occasional tourist.
