History
Both villages are listed in the Domesday Book, and at the time of the survey were larger than today.[4][5]
St Catherine has long been associated with Wyville. Ancient stone coffins have been found on what may have been the site of the original church.[6] The present church was built in 1858.[6][7]
In 1848 Samuel Lewis described the parish as:
- "WYVILL, a parish, in the union of Grantham, wapentake of Loveden, parts of Kesteven, county of Lincoln, 6 miles (N. W.) from Colsterworth; containing, with Hungerton, 137 inhabitants. The living is a discharged rectory, with that of Hungerton united; net income, £35; patron, the Bishop of Lincoln. The church is in ruins, and the inhabitants attend that at Harlaxton."[8]
A few years later John Marius Wilson said of the parish:
- "WYVILLE-WITH-HUNGERTON, a parish in Grantham district, Lincoln; 3½ miles W by S of Great Ponton r. station, and 5 SSW of Grantham. Post town, Colsterworth, under Grantham. Acres, 1,670. Real property, £1,840. Pop., 155. Houses, 28. The living is a double rectory in the diocese of Lincoln. Value, £35. Patron, the Bishop of L. The church was built in 1858."[7]
