It is situated 2 mi west from the A158 road, and 4 mi north-west from Horncastle and 14 mi east from the county town. In 1971 the parish had a population of 37. On 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished and merged with Edlington to form "Edlington with Wispington".

The former parish church, a Grade II listed building dedicated to Saint Margaret, was built in 1863 by John Atkinson of York and consists of a western tower, nave, chancel, south porch and vestry. It is constructed of grey sandstone. Inside, the font, pulpit and a relief of St Margaret were carved in stone by the vicar, Rev Charles Pratt Terrot. Monuments are dedicated to the Philips family, one dated 1715, the other 1720. This family lived at Hall Farm, Wispington during late 16th to early 17th century. The church was declared redundant by the Diocese of Lincoln in 1975, and is closed.
