Sotby is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, fifteen miles north-east of the county town, the City of Lincoln, midway between the market towns of Horncastle, to the south, and Market Rasen, to the north. The population of the village remains less than 100, leaving it uncounted at the census.

The parish church, St Peter, dates from the 12th century, and was restored in 1857 by Michael Drury, using greenstone, limestone and some red brick. There is a gravestone in the chancel floor to John Porter, rector, who died 1688. The church is a Grade II* listed building.
