[4] A Post mill in Aylesby was operated by the Cistercians of Meaux Abbey, East Riding of Yorkshire, during the Middle Ages.

[6][7] In 1950, Major Harry Spilman, of Aylesby Manor, held the position of High Sheriff of Lincolnshire.

Simon de Luda was appointed rector in 1278 and, after his death, in early 1306, he was buried near the south door of the church.

In 1848, the farm was purchased by William Torr and, under his management, 'the Aylesby flocks and herds were sent to all parts of the United Kingdom and to the continent, the colonies, and even Japan'.

Towards the east fields give way to the fishing port of Grimsby; towards the west arable land rises to the Lincolnshire Wolds.
