Ruckland is a village in the civil parish of Maidenwell, and about 6 miles (10 km) south from the town of Louth, in the East Lindsey district, in the county of Lincolnshire, England. It lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In 1931 the parish had a population of 21.[1] On 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished to form Maidenwell.[2]
In the 1086 Domesday Book Ruckland is written as "Rochland", with nine households, the Lord of the Manor being Briscard.[3]
Ruckland's church, dedicated to Saint Olave (sometimes Olaf), seats forty people. It was built in 1885 of green sandstone by William Scorer, and is a Grade II listed building.[4][5] The churchyard contains the war graves of a Royal Navy sailor and an Army Veterinary Corps soldier of the Second World War.[6]
George Hall (1863–1918) was rector of Ruckland and a member of the Gypsy Lore Society. In 1915 he published his book, The Gypsy's Parson - His Experiences and Adventures.[7][8]
