Whisby is a hamlet in the civil parish of Doddington and Whisby, in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 5miles south-west from Lincoln city centre, 1.5miles south from Doddington, and 2miles north from the A46 road.
Whisby was formerly a township in the parish of Doddington,[1] in 1866 Whisby became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1931 the parish was abolished and merged with Doddington to form "Doddington and Whisby".[2] In 1921 the parish had a population of 99.[3]
The name 'Whisby' means 'farm/settlement of Hvit'.[4]
Between Whisby and Thorpe on the Hill, 3miles to the south, is Whisby Moor, which includes a nature park run by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust.[5] Whisby also has a garden centre.
In 2011 the A46 road underwent reconstruction just outside Whisby. This included the building of a roundabout on the road which leads into the village.
The Nottingham–Lincoln line passes 0.5miles to the south of the village on Station Road, at a level crossing next to the Railway Inn.[6]
