History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The name of the village comes from the post-Roman Billings tribe of invaders.

The school name, Aveland, is taken from a pre-conquest Wapentake of that name, dating back to 921. The Wapentake extended from Bourne to Threekingham.

The area was populous in the Middle Ages, and included the lost village of Ouseby. and shrunken village of Birthorpe.

St Andrew's Church dates to the 13th century and is in a mixture of Perpendicular Gothic and Decorated styles.

The village was formerly served by the Billingboro and Horbling railway station.
