Roxby cum Risby

Roxby cum Risby is a civil parish forming part of the district of North Lincolnshire, England.

[2] The separate hamlets of Roxby and Risby were in existence and are both mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.

[4] During the reign of King Henry VIII of England, Risby was taken by the Crown from the Abbot as part of the dissolution of the monasteries, and it was given to Sir William Herbert during the reign of King Edward VI of England.

[5] St Mary's Church in Roxby was constructed in the 12th century and underwent Victorian restoration in 1875.

[6] To expand the number of gravesites available, one of the churchwardens in the 1830s ordered several headstones to be laid flat.
