Parish History
Dalby is an Ancient Parish and included Dexthorpe.

The Domesday survey mentions two churches in Dalby which may have included one at Dexthorpe. The mediaeval thatched church on this site was demolished in 1862 and the present church was designed by James Fowler of Louth and the stone of the former church was used. The church was dedicated in October 1862 by the Bishop of Lincoln.

The bell and two monuments to the Llandon family from the predecessor were incorporated. The church was without dedication until 1960 when it was dedicated to St Lawrence and Bishop Edward King.
