Coningsby

Coningsby
Taking its name from the Welsh 'cwningen' meaning 'Rabbit's' town (with an Old Norse suffix), it lies 8 miles (13 km) south of Horncastle on the A153 Horncastle to Sleaford road, with the Lincolnshire Wolds on one side and the Fens on the other. The B1192 Kirton to Woodhall Spa road passes through the town. At its western end it adjoins with the village of Tattershall, demarcated by the River Bain. Before the late 1950s, a railway passed through the town. Pubs include the Black Swan and the White Bull which are both on High Street.
