Welcome to The Asterby Group, as we are informally known. We are a group of historic Church of England communities nestled in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds. We are places of worship, fellowship, and warm welcome, rooted in centuries of tradition yet seeking to actively serve the needs of our modern villages. Whether you’re seeking spiritual nourishment, a quiet space for reflection, or simply looking to connect with a friendly, supportive group of people, we invite you to step through our ancient doors. Join us for Sunday services, explore our community events, or discover the rich history held within our walls—all are truly welcome.
Please explore the pages on this web site to find out a bit more about us. A good place to start is Who We Are and our list of services can be found here Services and Events.
