Alvingham er en landsby og civil parish i East Lindsey-distriktet af Lincolnshire, England. Det ligger omkring 5 km nordøst for købstaden Louth.[1]

Landsbyen nævnes i Domesday Book som "Aluingeham", hvilket betyder "Hjemstæder for Ælfingas" (Ælfs stamme).[2] Gilbertinerordenens Alvingham Priory blev grundlagt her i 1141. Digteren og oversætteren Barnabe Googe arvede Alvingham Priorys tidligere jorde efter sin faders død i 1500-tallet.[3]

Alvingham Mill nævnes også i Domesday Book.[4]

The Louth Canal from Highbridge The Louth Canal or Navigation was built between 1756 and 1777. It was taken over by the Great Northern Railway between 1849 and 1876 and trade declined steadily until it was temporarily closed during the 1914-18 war. The canal finally closed to navigation in 1924.
