Wragby, United Kingdom

The ruins of the older church can be seen from the bottom of the cemetery, and are 440 yards (400 m) from the grade II listed All Saints Church which was built in 1839 by W. A. Nicholson. The ruins of the old church are no longer in evidence, but the local history group has marked out the site of the old church and erected information boards. Some artefacts from the old church can be seen in the present day All Saints' Church. The site of the old church and the associated churchyard have been cleared by members of the Wragby Heritage Group, with financial help from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The site of the old church has been marked out, information boards erected and several damaged tombs and headstones repaired. Work is being carried out in order to map out the position and occupants of the gravesites.

Wragby was a market town and staging centre through a charter dating back to Charles II and requested by the Duke of Buckingham, for one market and two fairs. The market was held on a Thursday, and there was a fair held on 1 May, and 28–29 September. Eggs and butter were still being sold at the market during the early part of the 20th century and the cattle market was still functioning until some time after the Second World War. The market place is now mostly used for car parking and occasional market events. The nearby Adam and Eve Pub mostly holds the markets of Wragby on its car park.

A grammar school founded in 1635, and rebuilt in 1775 are both now in residential use. There was also a Grade II listed windmill, built in 1831. It was powered by six sails until 1903 when it ceased working. The 1887 OS Map shows a second windmill off Victoria Street; however, it has gone in the 1906 map.

The Brady touring company of actors performed here in a temporary theatre in October 1818 before moving on to Bardney.

In 1883 the last European wildcat in England was killed at Bullington Wood, near Wragby.

Over time Wragby has evolved to be a stopping point en route to the coastal town of Skegness, with amenities including three public houses, a fish shop, café and a supermarket. The population of Wragby has expanded though the building of two new housing estates; a third estate began development in late 2009, with completion expected by early 2012. Kier Group initially began the new construction projects after buying-out local homebuilder Hugh Bourn. However, Kier then themselves sold the land and properties to Linden Homes (themselves a subsidiary of Galliford Try), who have continued construction of sites in the town, such as Carpenters Lodge.

The Sinking Ships, a band formed in 1979 known for singing the previously mysterious song 'Strangers', originated from Wragby.
