St Lawrence & Bishop Edward King church
Two churches in Dalby were mentioned in the “Domesday Book”, but it is generally supposed that one of these was in a neighbouring parish, probably Dexthorpe.
The old church was covered with thatch and contained a Norman chancel arch. This church became so dilapidated that it was demolished in 1862.
The present church was designed by James Fowler Esq., of Louth, and was built on the same foundations as the old church and the stones from the old church were used for the outside walls. The building was started in June 1862 and the church was opened for Divine Service by the Lord Bishop of Lincoln on 14th October 1862.
The most interesting features in the church are the Llanden Tablets of 1621. These were transferred from the old church. There is no record of Dalby church having been dedicated to any Patron Saint up to 1960.
The church sits in parkland alongside Dalby Hall
