History
Formerly a township of Althorpe parish, Amcotts was created a civil parish in 1866 and enlarged in 1885 by gaining part of neighbouring Luddington.[2][3]
Amcotts was listed in Domesday Book of 1086 when it consisted of eight households.[4]
A chantry chapel was founded in the mid 15th century by Geoffrey Crowle and William Amcotts.[5]
Amcotts Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Mark, and was built in 1853 to replace an earlier church dedicated to St Thomas A Becket which fell down in 1849.[2][6]
Amcotts CE School was built in 1860 as a National School, which closed in 1961.[7]
In 1974 properties in the village suffered significant damage due to the Flixborough disaster.[citation needed
