West Wykeham first appears in the historical record in Domesday book, where a manor is recorded in the hands of Rainer de Brimou. This manor had sokeland in Ludford. At the time of Domesday there was minimum population of 11 people. Ralf de Criol succeeded the Domesday tenant Rainer de Brimou and is recorded as holding the manor in the Lindsey Survey of 1115.

These lands in West Wykeham were held by Ralf de Criol in 1115, passed to his heir, Hugh de Scoteni in about 1155, and then to Hugh&#039;s son, Lambert de Scoteni before 1202. In 1212 the lands were in the hands of Thomas (probably the grandson of Lambert&#039;s younger brother, Walter). It was Thomas de Scoteni who granted lands in West Wykeham to Sixhills Priory in 1228-32. — West Wykeham DMV: aerial 2021 Credit: Chris

Grim's Mound, Grimblethorpe, Lincs

The monument includes the earthwork remains of a bowl barrow known as Grim's Mound located 110m above sea level in a commanding position on the summit of a spur between the River Bain and one of its tributaries. It is a grassy mound some 19m in diameter and 2.6m high, situated adjacent to a trackway running between the sites of the medieval villages of Biscathorpe and Calcethorpe. This trackway, which is today known as the Viking Way, overlies the eastern perimeter of the monument and it bends slightly at this point. Chance finds of worked flint have been recovered from the plough soil around the monument which itself is largely undisturbed. Although the encircling ditch, from which material for the mound was quarried, is not visible, it is thought to survive buried beneath the present ground surface. (source ancientmonuments.co.uk)

East Wykeham occurs in the Domesday Book, where a holding of only half a bovate was part of a manor at South Cadeby, and a further 5 bovates and 10 acres of meadow were sokeland of South Cadeby. There was another half a bovate that is recorded as waste. There was a minimum population of five people at that time. There is no manor in East Wykeham recorded in Domesday. In the Lindsey survey of 1115 the holdings of 5 and a half bovates in East Wykeham are in the hands of Alan of Lincoln and a further two bovates held by the Bishop of Lincoln. The church at East Wykeham was granted to Sixhills Priory in the mid twelfth century; half from Supir de Bayeux and half from Ralf of Grimblethorpe. Included within these gifts were tofts and land in East Wykeham See: Link
