North Cockerington is a small village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles (5 km) north-east from Louth.
Village population has fluctuated between 150 and 200 since 1801 and currently remains at just below 200, with an equal distribution of males and females.[citation needed]

The school serves the villages of North and South Cockerington, Alvingham, Yarburgh as well as Louth itself.[2]
