Keisby is a hamlet in the civil parish of Lenton, Keisby and Osgodby, in the South Kesteven district, in Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 6 miles (10 km) north-west from Bourne and 9 miles (14 km) south-east from Grantham. In 1921 the parish had a population of 72.[1]

History

Keisby comes from an Old Norse term meaning "Kisi's farmstead or village".[2] The village is mentioned in the Domesday account,[3] and has had different spellings over the years, from Chisebi to Kisebi and Kysebi.[2]

The English surname Kisby (and variants) is believed to originate from Keisby.[4]

Keisby was formerly a township in the parish of Lavington,[5] in 1866 Keisby became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished to form "Lenton Keisby and Osgodby".[6]

Modern times

Keisby is part of the Lenton, Keisby and Osgodby ecclesiastical parish, and The North Beltisloe Group of parishes in the Deanery of Beltisloe.[7] As of 2014 the incumbent is the Revd Mike Doyle.[7] There is no separate church, services taking place in the parish church at Lenton.
