Ewerby is a village in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies 3 miles (4.8 km) north-east from Sleaford and 2 miles (3.2 km) south from Anwick. The hamlet of Ewerby Thorpe lies 0.7 miles (1.1 km) to the east from Ewerby.[1]
At Ewerby are the Haverholme Priory ruins, and the Grade I listed Anglican church dedicated to St Andrew.[2] The church is an example of early 14th century Decorated style with a 172 foot spire.[3] In the north chancel is the recumbent effigy of Sir Alexander Aunsell (d. 1360), the founder of the church. St Andrew's was restored in 1895.[3] In late 2009, the Ecclesiastical Parishes of Kirkby Laythorpe and Ewerby became part of the benefice of New Sleaford, to be held in plurality.[4]
The village public house is the Finch Hatton Arms[5] on Main Street.
