Croxby is a tiny hamlet, barely more than a few houses, in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It is to be found on the Waither Beck a mile west of a village barely larger, Thorganby, and of about five miles east of Caistor. A atellite halt, Croxby Top is just to the west, on the lane to Rothwell.
The site of a deserted mediæval village, the original Croxby, lies to the north-east of the church, with Croxby Hall standing at the bottom, and standing beside a narrow stream running through a chalk valley.[1] At the time of the Domesday Book, this lost Croxby had a population of 36.[2]
The parish church, All Saints, is a Grade II* listed building of ironstone dating from the 12th century, with later additions and restorations. The font is also 12th-century.[3]
Croxby Hall is a Grade II* listed building of red brick dating from 1730.[4]
