Haceby is a hamlet in Kesteven, the south-west part of Lincolnshire. It is eight miles east of Kesteven's main town, Grantham, eight miles south of Sleaford, and a mile south of the A52 road.
The Domesday Book records the village as "Hazebi". The -by suffix is an Old Norse| word ending meaning 'village' or 'farm' and the prefix is presumed to be form a personal name.[1]
Haceby consists of a small number of houses, farm buildings, and the Grade I listed redundant St Barbara's Church.[2] Although dedicated to St Barbara, it is also attributed to St Margaret or to both saints.[3]
The village's war memorial is found combined with that of Newton, in Newton's St Botolph Church.[4]
The lost village
Earthworks to the west of the village are still visible as the remains of a Roman Villa.[5] In 1818 a tessellated pavement and other Roman remains were discovered.[6]
