Donington on Bain is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds about 6 miles (9.7 km) miles south-west of Louth and about six 6 miles (9.7 km) miles north of Horncastle. It sits on the east bank of the River Bain. The Viking Way[1] runs north to south through the village.

Donington on Bain Grade II" listed late 12th century Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Andrew.[2] It is of Early English style with an early Norman font.[3] Within the church is a 17th century memorial to the poet Thomas Kent.[2] The church is in the Asterby Group of churches of the Horncastle Deanery.[4]

The village has a primary school. The village pub is the Black Horse on Main Road. Cadwell Park racetrack is about five miles away.

On either side of the valley sits a tower. It was reported in June 2009 that one of these, the tallest structure in the UK, Belmont mast, was to be reduced in height.[5] The other is a World War II ACE High early warning relay station at RAF Stenigot.[6]

Donington on Bain railway station served the village from 1875 to 1951.

Donington On Bain Rovers Football Club is an English amateur football club. It was founded in 1948 by Donington villagers, replacing a succession of unofficial village teams. The club has since its foundation participated in local competitions, winning all but the 'Village Trophy', a contest in which it has several times lost in the final match. The club has traditionally attracted supporters and players from surrounding villages and towns, including Louth, and Lincoln.[citation needed]

The pitch off Main Road has been home for the team since 1948. Although the pitch doesn't have an official name or capacity, it is affectionately called 'Donington Park' by locals, players and staff.[original research?] Although there are no stands, the names for the perimeter standing areas are: The Dead End (backing on to the cemetery), Road Side (running parallel to Station Road), The Peter Fieldsend and the Lincoln Pair Memorial Stand (named in honour of two former reserve team players).[citation needed]

Rivalries

Local Villages Ludford and Scamblesby are the team's biggest rivals, due to the clubs' proximity to each other.[citation needed]

Players of the year

Donington on Bain's Player Of The Season award is voted for by the clubs players and management.[citation needed]
