Clixby is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Grasby, in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 2 miles (3 km) north from the town of Caistor, and lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In 1931 the parish had a population of 39.[1]

Clixby was formerly a township and chapelry in the parish of Caistor,[2] in 1866 Clixby became a civil parish, on 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished and merged with Bishop Norton.[3][4]

Clixby is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book, with Lord of the Manor as King William I.[5] At the beginning of the 18th century Clixby was the seat of Sir John Fitzwilliam.[6]

The parish church was dedicated to All Hallows and dates from the 13th century with a 19th-century restoration by Hodgson Fowler. It was declared redundant in 1973.[7]
