Clixby is a small village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It is about two miles north of the town of Caistor, and sits amongst the pretty Lincolnshire Wolds.

The village was originally a township of Caistor.[1]

Clixby is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book, with the King as the Lord of the Manor.[2]

At the beginning of the 18th century Clixby was the seat of Sir John Fitzwilliam.[3]

The former parish church was dedicated to All Hallows and dates from the 13th century with a 19th-century restoration by Hodgson Fowler. The church was declared redundant in 1973.[4]
