Lusby is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It is found about four miles west of Spilsby, and five miles east of Horncastle.
The parish church, St Peter, is built in greenstone and dates from the 11th century, with 15th-century additions. It was further altered and reduced in 1893 by Ewan Christian, and in the 20th century a porch was added. The church is a Grade I listed building.[1]
A late 11th-early 12th-century grave marker is incorporated above the keystone of the blocked south doorway of the nave.[2]
History
In the 1086 Domesday Book, Lusby is listed as "Luzebi", with 26 households, a meadow of 180 acres, a mill and a church.[3]
Lusby CofE School was built as a National School to serve the village as well as nearby Winceby and Asgarby. It closed in 1962.[4]
