Bardney, Lincolnshire

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The name of Bardney village gives a clue to its past. The 'ey' ending means 'island', an indication that the area on the bank of the Witham was once marshland, and the village site little more than an island in the marsh. Bardney was the site of a 7th century abbey established under King Ethelred (not the 'unready' king of the same name). When the bones of St Oswald were brought to Bardeney Abbey in 675, the monks at first refused to admit them. they were later convinced that he was indeed a saint, and ever after they left the gates of the abbey wide open. This gave rise to a Lincolnshire saying - when someone leaves a door open, they are asked, "Are you from Bardney?". There is little of the abbey remaining, but the parish church of St Lawrence dates to 1434, and was erected by the monks of Bardney for the villagers.
