Fulletby is a village and a civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) northeast of Horncastle, 11 miles (18 km) south of Louth and 8 miles (13 km) northwest of Spilsby. The parish covers about 1,950 acres (7.9 km2).
History [edit]
The village is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book.
In 1841 the village consisted primarily of mud-and-stud cottages.[citation needed] In 1849 six Roman urns were dug up in the parish. They contained burned bone fragments; one contained a Roman coin.[1] In 1885 Kelly's reported that the area's chief crops were wheat, barley, oats and turnips, and that the village had both a Wesleyan and a Primitive Methodist chapel.[1]
Fulletby Grade II listed Anglican church, dedicated to St Andrew,[2] is in Early English style. The church was rebuilt in 1705, but its tower fell down in 1799. It was rebuilt again in 1865.[1] The Church is now part of the Hemingby Group of the Horncastle Deanery and seats around 120.[citation needed]
