Aswardby (pronounced "as-ard-bee") is a village found four miles north-west of Spilsby, in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It stands north of the A158 and west of the A16 roads.

T. Pelham Dale, a Church of England priest prosecuted and imprisoned for Ritualist practices in 1876 and 1880 (and regarded a martyr by Anglo-Catholics) was the parish priest from 1881–1892.

Aswardby Hall was built approximately 1845, with further building works completed around 1910.
