The Parish of the Asterby Group is beautifully situated in the Horncastle Deanery, in the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. It lies to the south west of the attractive market town of Louth, east of the historic county town of Lincoln and to the north of Horncastle itself and is set in rolling, peaceful countryside.

The Parish consists of 11 villages –

Benniworth
Biscathorpe (closed)
Burgh on Bain with Girsby
Donington on Bain
Gayton le Wold with Grimblethorpe
Goulceby
Ranby
Scamblesby with Cawkwell

Worship in the village churches is shared on a rota basis with some parishioners travelling from their own villages to worship together, while others attend formal worship only when it is held in their particular village church. Numbers fluctuate with greater numbers attending at Harvest, Christmas and special services.
