Kelby is a village in the civil parish of Culverthorpe and Kelby,[1] in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies 5 miles (8 km) south-west from Sleaford, 9 miles (14 km) north-east from Grantham and 3 miles (5 km) south-east from Ancaster. Kelby was formerly a chapelry in the parish of Haydor,[2] in 1866 Kelby became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Culverthorpe to form "Culverthorpe and Kelby".[3] In 1921 the parish had a population of 61.[4]

Kelby church is dedicated to St Andrew.[5] Its tower was rebuilt in 1881 after a collapse. The church basement is Norman and the font Early English, with pews originally from the chapel at nearby Grade II listed Culverthorpe Hall.[6][7]

A chapel for Primitive Methodists was established in 1859.[5]
