Claxby, or Claxby by Normanby, is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 census was 221.[1] It is situated approximately 4 miles (6 km) north from the town of Market Rasen and 5 miles (8 km) south from the town of Caistor.

The parish church is dedicated to Saint Mary and is a Grade I listed building, built of ironstone, dating from the 13th century [2] and restored in 1871 by James Fowler of Louth. On the north side of the chancel is a 13th-century tomb of the founder Brayboeuf. On the south side is a tomb erected in 1605 to John Witherwick (died 1595). There are brasses to Fitzwilliams Armiger (died 1634), Jane Burnaby (died 1653), and Mary Monson (died 1638).[3] The painting of the Annunciation by Charles Edgar Buckeridge was originally in St Margaret's Church, Burton upon Trent.[4]

St Mary's church is part of the Walesby Group of Parishes which also comprises Brookenby (St Michael and All Angels); Kirmond le Mire (St Martin); Normanby le Wold (St Peter); North Willingham (St Thomas); Stainton le Vale (St Andrew); Tealby (All Saints); Walesby (St Mary) and Walesby Old Church (All Saints).[5]

Claxby has a Parish Council consisting of seven Councillors and a Clerk which meets four times per year and maintains its own website.[6]
