Winceby is known for its historical significance, as it was the site of a battle during the English Civil War. The Battle of Winceby took place on October 11, 1643, between the Royalist forces led by Sir John Henderson and the Parliamentarian forces led by Oliver Cromwell. The Parliamentarians emerged victorious, and the battle marked a turning point in the Civil War.
