Saxilby history
Etymology
The name is of Viking origin, Old Norse Saksúlfr + byr, or “farmstead of a man called Saksulfr” and it appears as “Saxebi” in the Domesday Book (1086) In archived documents the village is often referred to as Saxelby, with the current spelling only being found in common use from the late 19th century onwards.
Early history
The Romans built the Fossdyke which runs through the Saxilby area, but it is unknown whether they settled on the site. Roman pottery has been found in the area, which suggests they may have settled in this area. Viking invaders took many areas of Lincolnshire during the 9th century. In the 12th century, the Normans began creating Manors.
