Welcome to Old Somerby

Old Somerby is a small village located in the county of Lincolnshire, England. The village is situated on the eastern edge of the county, close to the border with the neighboring county of Rutland. The village has a long and rich history, dating back to the Roman era when it was an important settlement on the road between Lincoln and Stamford. Today, Old Somerby is a quiet and peaceful village, with a population of around 200 people.

One of the most notable features of Old Somerby is its beautiful church, St. Mary's. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a fine example of Norman architecture. The church is built from local limestone and has a distinctive tower with a spire that can be seen from miles around. Inside, the church is decorated with beautiful stained glass windows and has a number of interesting features, including a medieval font and a rare 17th-century pulpit.

Old Somerby is also home to a number of historic buildings, including a 17th-century manor house and a number of traditional thatched cottages. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops stretching as far as the eye can see. The village is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists, who come to explore the local area and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this charming village.
