St Andrew's Church, Firsby Road, Halton Holegate Grade II* Listed Parish church dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries. A church is mentioned in the Domesday Book 1080-1086 but the present church was built in the late 14th century. The porch was rebuilt in 1831 by Colonel Maddison of Partney Hall. Following damage in a bad storm in 1846 it was considerably rebuilt and improved under the direction of Rector Thomas Hardwicke Rawnsley. His son Drummond carried out further restoration and the tower was rebuilt 1866 by J. Fowler described in contemporary reports as 'Part of the tower was taken down and rebuilt with enlarged buttresses from designs by Mr. Street. Old tower was higher than the present one'. The crenellations were probably added at this time, not being shown in a 1790 sketch. Rev Thomas W Sale commissioned the rebuilding of the Chantry chapel, now the vestry, in 1894-5. It has a Sanctus and 6 other bells. Sanctus plus three 1717 by Henry Penn, one 1791 by Thomas Osborn, two 1867 by John Taylor & Co.

Former station buildings, 60 Station Road, Halton Holegate Spilsby & Firsby Railway Company obtained parliamentary permission in 1865 and consequently opened a four mile branch line to Spilsby on 1st May 1868. Halton Holegate was the only intermediate station on the short branch line and never generated much revenue. Operated by them, Great Northern Railway bought out the Spilsby & Firsby Railway Company and ran it from 1st January 1891. The station had a station master's residence, a booking office, a small waiting room, single platform, a loop line with cattle pen and goods shed. Passenger services were suspended for WWII on 10th September 1939 and never resumed but goods continued and finally stopped on 30th November 1958 because the bridge over Steeping River needed a £20k replacement. The Station building was extended and is now a 3 reception 5 bedroom, 2,319 sq ft (216 sq m) home. The goods shed is now 521 sq ft (48 sq m) stables and tack room.

The Red Lion, Spilsby The Red Lion is on Market Street in Spilsby town centre. Red Lion is the most common name for pubs in England but they are especially numerous in this area because it was an heraldic emblem of the 14th century John of Gaunt, Earl of Lancaster, Lord of the Manor of Bolingbroke Castle.
