[edit] St Lawrence's Church
Aylesby Grade I listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Lawrence.[2] It has a Decorative chancel and Perpendicular tower. Its arcades to the nave, with circular bench tables around the piers, and font, are Early English. In the pavement of the church is a slab to rector John Martin (d. 1352).[3] The pews were hand crafted in 1759 by James Harrison of Middle Rasen, brother of clockmaker John Harrison.[4] The church is surrounded by large sycamore trees.[citation needed]
The Parish Council is currently[when?] raising money for renovations to the church.[citation needed]
[edit] Agriculture
The village lies in a small vale. At each side of Aylesby are two farms: one to the east on the road to Great Coates, the other to the west on Nooking Lane; both farms cover the countryside surrounding the village. Towards the east fields give way to the fishing port of Grimsby; towards the west arable land rises to the Lincolnshire Wolds.[citation needed]
[edit] Broadband access
Aylesby is one of the few remaining villages in the UK that does not have broadband access. This is partly due to the village being far from its telephone exchange in Scartho, Grimsby.[citation needed]
