Saxby is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 237. It is 9 miles (14 km) north of Lincoln just off the A15.
Saint Helens church is a grade I listed building. It was built in 1775 as a mortuary chapel, and is now the parish church. Monuments consist of four wall plaques to the Earl of Scarborough, for whom the chapel was built, in white marble and in Greek taste, dating from 1832-1856.[1]
There was an earlier church in the nearby medieval villages of East and West Firsby but nothing remains of that or the village.
