Grasby is a small village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish (including Clixby) taken at the 2011 census was 480.[1] It is situated Шаблон:Convert north-west of the town of Caistor and lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[2]

Grasby's 13th-century Anglican parish church, dedicated to All Saints, is opposite the village primary school.

The church is part of the Caistor group of parishes in the Deanery of West Wold.[3] The 2013 incumbent is The Rev'd Canon Ian Robinson.[4] In earlier times the vicar was Rev Charles Tennyson Turner, brother of the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson.[5]

The village school came close to closing at the end of the 20th century but remains open.[5] It is now Grasby All Saints Church of England Primary School, and grant maintained. The school received a Grade 2 (Good) judgement for "Overall effectiveness" in its 2013 Ofsted report.[6]

The village hall holds events such as Rock and Roll and Jive classes, runs a Learn Direct programme and is used by the village school for physical education lessons and a yearly Easter ceremony.[2]

Grasby has one public house, The Cross Keys,[5] on the Caistor to Brigg road, which for a time housed a village shop. A second public house, The Bluebell, on the corner of Church Hill and Canty Nook, is now closed.

Since 1987 Grasby has been twinned with the small French village of Saint-Rémy-de-Sillé in Sarthe,[5][7] whose main road has been renamed Rue de Grasby.[8]

In 2005 Grasby won the Central England Village of the Year competition.[2][5]
