Woodhall or Old Woodhall, is a small village located about 3 miles (4.8 km) south west of Horncastle, Lincolnshire, England.

Woodhall, along with Woodhall Spa, was created a civil parish in 1889 comprising portions of Langton, Woodhall, Thimbleby, and Thornton.[1] In 1894 Woodhall and Woodhall Spa were separated, forming two civil parishes, the boundary between them being the Reeds Beck Road.[1] Woodhall is now part of the civil parish of Stixwould and Woodhall .

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.[2] The church declared redundant by the Diocese of Lincoln in 1971, and was demolished in 1972.[3]

There is a medieval moated site which represents the site of Woodhall Hall, which is an ancient scheduled monument.[4]

Darwood House is a grade II listed farmhouse dating from the 15th century with 17th and 19th century alterations.[5]
