Partney is a small village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Spilsby, and in the Lincolnshire Wolds. The village was the birthplace of Henry Stubbe, the noted 17th-century Intellectual.
Partney is at the intersection of the A16 and A158 roads. A village bypass diverts the road to Skegness, Ingoldmells and Chapel St. Leonards. Public transport is provided by the Connect No. 6 bus service which runs from Lincoln to Skegness.
The existence of a Saxon Monastic house in Partney is known only from two references in Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (The Ecclesiastical History of the English People) of 731.
In Bowyer's History of the Mitred Parliamentary Abbies and other 18th- and 19th-century authors Bede's placename Peartenau is identified with Bardney. But Bede mentions Peartenau and Beardeneu in adjacent paragraphs, and the link to Bardney is now discredited.Pearteneau is likely to be Partney. The monastery is thought to have been destroyed by Viking raids around 870. No archaeological trace is known, but some burials confirm Saxon occupation at that time.
