Stenigot
Stenigot is a village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated in the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, about south-west from the town of Louth, and south-east from the village of Donington on Bain. It includes the hamlet of Cold Harbour. The distinctive name 'Stenigot' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as ''Stangehou''. This is thought to be a variant of the Old English ''Stāninga-hōh'', meaning 'spur of a hill' of 'the people at a stone'.〔Eilert Ekwall, ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p.441.〕 The parish church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and is a Grade II listed building dating from 1892. Built of red brick and limestone, with a 15th-century octagonal font. There is a monument to Sir John Guevara, died 1607, of white, grey and orange streaked alabaster and a black marble inscription plaque to Francis Velles de Guevara, died 1592. The village is probably best known for RAF Stenigot, a chain home high station during the Second World War and later as a NATO ACE High station, with four tropospheric scatter parabolic dishes.
