Laceby is situated in the north eastern part of Lincolnshire, close to the coast and just to the west of Grimsby. It is the last village on the A46 Leicester to Grimsby Road, before you reach Grimsby itself. The village is very old, being of Viking origin, as the 'by' suffix (meaning settlement or place in Old Danish) suggests. There are many monuments in the village dedicated to the people who have shaped its history. Although a fairly sizeable village, Laceby is dwarfed by neighbouring Grimsby these days. However, it is told that long ago in the past; the Baron of Laceby sent an army into the town and took it over. The town officials were taken prisoner and placed in the dungeons of Laceby. The village pub is The Nags Head and it is highly recommended, although it was once two pubs. The Nags Head and The Waterloo were so close together that, prior to their being joined, it is said that they had appeared in the Guinness Book of Records as the two most closely situated pubs in Britain. The parish church of St Margaret has an 11th century tower and nave as well as other Norman features.
