Sixhills is a village in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, about 3 miles (4.8 km) south-east from Market Rasen. It lies just south of the A631 between Market Rasen and Ludford.
The Church of All Saints was designed by James Fowler (1869 and 1875).[1]
The village was the site of a former nunnery of the Gilbertine Order, founded in the twelfth century.[2] At the behest of Edward I Gwladys ferch Dafydd was sent there until her death in 1336.[3]
