Cadney Cum Howsham Parish Council

Advent Windows!

Happy Christmas everyone! Here is the Advent Windows Map provided by the amazing Debbie Clark who does so much for the parish and thank you to all the houses who have taken part. 


Christmas Message  

The Council will take its winter recess in December so the next meeting will be in January. If you have anything you would like to feed back to the council on this subject please let the Clerk know via email  Clerk@cadneycumhowsham.org.uk

The next meeting will be held on the 17th of January 2026 at Howsham Village Hall at 7.15pm.

As the year comes to a close, it is time to reflect on a year’s past and the council has tried its best to serve your best interests. We have worked on supporting community inclusion projects, representing your views to North Lincolnshire Council, Humberside Police and Lincolnshire County Council. Worked with Ward Councillors to ensure your representation on major issues. Handled planning applications, supported more community projects through grants and worked on major developments in the Parish.

For now it is time for us to take a rest, and in my case as Parish Clerk, time to take a rest from Parish and Town Government entirely. As you may have noticed from this page, we have been looking for a new Clerk, as I am now moving on with my other career as a music teacher. It has been an honour to serve you all over these last eight years. I would like to thank the council who have been wonderfully supportive employers and who have given me so many opportunities, all of the community volunteers who really make a parish a home and most of all I would like to thank all of you, the parishioners of Cadney and Howsham for the support you have given me.

Now please enjoy Christmas, the wonderful activities going on in the Parish and have a wonderful New Year.

By Order of the Parish Clerk: James Truepenny.

Community Speedwatch

Community Speedwatch is a national initiative where, in partnership with the police, members of communities use detection devices to monitor local vehicle speeds. The volunteers report drivers exceeding the speed limit to the police with the aim of educating drivers to slow down. We now have a new officer in charge of our local area and are once again recruiting to build up a team to deliver this volunteer service. If you would like to get involved please email the Clerk on clark@cadneycumhowsham.org.uk.

Neighbourhood Action

Team Cllr Leahy is our representative on the Neighbourhood Action Team who have been working on trying to reduce Fly Tipping and other forms of antisocial behaviour. You can report Fly Tipping though the North Lincs Council website here: https://www.northlincs.gov.uk/planning-and-environment/fly-tipping-and-abandoned-vehicles/ You can also call Humberside Police on 101 to report other Anti Social Behaviours that are affecting the parish. The more people who report issues, the better chance lead authorities have of reacting to those issues.

On a similar note, stray or abandoned dogs have been reported in the parish. You can get advice about such incidents and report them here: https://www.northlincs.gov.uk/jobs-business-and-regeneration/dog-control/

The parish boundary is defined by water with the old river Ancholme to the east, Kettleby beck to the north and North Kelsey beck to the south. Predominantly farm land, both villages have working arable and beef farms. Many of the old farm houses and buildings have been converted into attractive houses.

The village of CADNEY was first recorded in the Doomsday Book as Catenai and throughout time as been spelt a variety of ways including Cadenai, Kadenei and Kadnay. Translated the villages name means 'island or dry ground in marsh, of a man called Cada'.

The village of HOWSHAM lies in the northern part of what was historically known as the Yarborough Wapentake. A ‘Wapentake’ is a Norse word translating as ‘a hundred’ and was an old way of dividing up the land in the Eastern counties.

The parish church of All Saints has its roots in Norman times and was restored between 1912 and 1914 by Sir Charles Nicholson is Grade 1 listed The church of is of stone in the Norman style, consisting of chancel, nave, south aisle, chantry, south porch and a western tower containing one bell: there is an oak screen, beautifully carved, and a Norman font: in 1865 a severe gale of wind carried away the roof of the chancel, but a new roof has been erected at the cost of the Earl of Yarborough: beneath the pulpit is a stone inscribed to the memory of the Pye family and bearing date 1699: there are also the remains of a stained window in the south aisle: the chancel and chantry each retain a piscina: the church was closed for restoration in 1895, and divine service is now held in a licensed Mission room. The register dates from the year 1564.

To the west stands the remains of Newstead Priory a small Gilbertine house founded by Henry II in 1171 and upon its dissolution in 1538 housed a prior and five canons.
The village of HOWSHAM is a small hamlet, which lies to the east of Cadney. The larger of the two villages it once had a railway station located on the Grimsby to Lincoln line which closed in 1965; however the line remains in use today.

The Village Hall, formerly the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel and School Room, together with the Park is a very popular community venue for social and leisure events.
