The civil parish is formed by the village of Asselby and the hamlet of Knedlington, together with that part of Boothferry village west of the B1228 road. According to the 2011 UK census, Asselby parish had a population of 351,[1] a rise from the 2001 UK census figure of 299.[2] The parish covers an area of 532.14 hectares (1,314.9 acres).[3]

The Hull and Barnsley Railway ran past the village until 1955, having a level crossing named 'Asselby'. The closest station was Barmby railway station.

The village has one pub, The Black Swan, situated on Main Street. Unusually, Asselby is situated on an entirely dead-end road, which finishes in the next village (which is slightly larger than Asselby), Barmby on the Marsh.

Northern Gas Networks has a gas pressure reduction and odourisation plant just outside of Asselby.
