Anderby is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It had a population of 335, according to the 2001 census. The village consists mainly of a stretch of housing just off the main A52 road.
Anderby church is built of red brick, and is dedicated to St Andrew. The church is a Grade II Listed building, and was built in 1759 with some 1887 restorations.[1] In the churchyard is a 14th-century cross, which is a scheduled monument,[2] and a Grade II listed structure.[3]
Anderby Creek
On the coast, two miles to the east, is the smaller hamlet of Anderby Creek, built on the side of a creek that leads out to sea. The beach at Anderby Creek has been mentioned in the Good Beach Guide.[4] There is a beach shop, café, village pub, and a few houses, and five caravan sites with access to the beach.
A drainage museum is housed in a drainage board pumping station erected in 1945.[5]
There are also two wartime defensive structures.
The Creek is protected by the council against the development of modern tourist facilities, to preserve the unspoilt status of the area.[6]
Wolla Bank Reedbed is a nature reserve belonging to the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust located about a mile to the south. It had originally been used as a resource for clay for the repair of the sea wall after the 1953 east-coast floods.
