Riseholme is a deserted mediæval village, located in the park of Riseholme Hall in Lincolnshire, in the Parts of Lindsey. The village was first depopulated in the 14th century, as a result of the Black Death, and continued to decline until by 1602 only one house remained. During the same period the neighbouring monastic grange of Barlings Abbey was expanded, passing after the Dissolution to Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. In 1721 the property passed to the Chaplin family, who constructed Riseholme Hall and laid out the landscaped park. Earthwork remains of the mediæval settlement and grange can be seen within the parkland. Some 20th-century housing along Riseholme Lane now forms a new hamlet of Riseholme. The site is within the council area of West Lindsey (Lincolnshire).
