Fulletby is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It sits in the Lincolnshire Wolds, three miles north-east of Horncastle, nine miles south of Louth, and eight miles north-west of Spilsby. At the time of the 2011 census the parish population remained less than 100 and so was not individually recorded.

History

The village is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book.

In 1841 the village consisted primarily of mud-and-stud cottages. In 1849 six Roman urns were dug up in the parish. They contained burned bone fragments; one contained a Roman coin.[1] In 1885 Kelly's Directory reported that the area's chief crops were wheat, barley, oats and turnips, and that the village had both Wesleyan and a Primitive Methodist chapels.[1]

Church

The parish church, St Andrew is built in the Early English Gothic style. It was rebuilt in 1705, but its tower fell down in 1799. It was rebuilt again in 1865.[1] The church is Grade II listed,[2]

The church is now part of the Hemingby Group of the Horncastle Deanery of the Diocese of Lincoln.
