WALMSGATE, a parish, in the union of Louth, hundred of Hill, parts of Lindsey, county of Lincoln, 6½ miles (S. S. E.) from Louth; containing 84 inhabitants. It is situated on the road from Louth to London, and comprises nearly 900 acres, tithe-free: the surrounding scenery is pleasing, and the seat of J. Whiting Yorke, Esq., here, commands some finely-varied prospects. The living is annexed to the vicarage of Burwell; and the church having fallen into ruins, the inhabitants attend that of Burwell.
