Kingerby is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, found five miles north-west of the town of Market Rasen. The hamlet of Bishop Bridge is a mile and a half to the south-west.
The old parish church, St Peter, was declared redundant in 1981 and is now cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust. It is still a Grade I listed building.[1] It dates from the early 11th century and is built of Ironstone. There are three monuments in the church to 13th- and 14th-century knights. There are also several marble tablets to the Young family of Kingerby Hall.[1]
To the north and east of the church are earthworks (which are today scheduled ancient monuments) of an ecclesiastical enclosure indicating the location of Elsham Priory.[2]
Kingerby Hall, or Manor, is a Grade II listed building dating from 1812. It is situated on the scheduled site of a motte and bailey castle and a later moated manor house. The castle was built sometime prior to 1216, in which year it burnt down. In the 12th and 13th centuries a village grew up around the castle, but in the 17th century the village population declined.[3][4][5]
