Woodhall Spa was created a civil parish on 1 April 1889[2] comprising portions of Langton, Woodhall, Thimbleby, and Thornton.[3] The boundary between Woodhall Spa and Woodhall was the Reeds Beck Road.[3] On 1 April 1987 the parish of Woodhall was abolished and merged with Stixwould to form "Stixwould and Woodhall".[4]

The church of Saint Margaret was built in the 14th century and may have once been part of the moated manorial complex of Woodhall Hall.[5] The church declared redundant by the Diocese of Lincoln in 1971, and was demolished in 1972.[6]

There is a medieval moated site which represents the site of Woodhall Hall, which is an ancient scheduled monument.[7]

Darwood House is a grade II listed farmhouse dating from the 15th century with 17th and 19th century alterations.[8]
