History

The village is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book.

In 1841 the village consisted primarily of mud-and-stud cottages. In 1849 six Roman urns were dug up in the parish. They contained burned bone fragments; one contained a Roman coin.[1] In 1885 Kelly's Directory reported that the area's chief crops were wheat, barley, oats and turnips, and that the village had both a Wesleyan and a Primitive Methodist chapel.[1]

Fulletby Grade II listed Anglican church, dedicated to St Andrew,[2] is in Early English style. The church was rebuilt in 1705, but its tower fell down in 1799. It was rebuilt again in 1865.[1] The Church is now part of the Hemingby Group of the Horncastle Deanery and seats around 120.[3]

gollark: Which is yet another problem of our system - the constituency borders could affect the election a *lot* if they got tweaked and yet are basically arbitrary.
gollark: That's more of a problem of insane gerrymandering.
gollark: Or your system will not meet those criteria.
gollark: No, I mean, as far as I can see that requires you to have three candidates and no more.
