Utterby is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.
[3] It is believed that the monks of this priory built the village's Packhorse bridge in the 14th century.
[4] The Prime Meridian passes to the east of Utterby.
The 'utter' comes from the Old English 'uttera', cognate with the modern English word 'outer', or remote, and not the modern Swedish 'utter' which means otter.
[5] This is a common construction also seen in Itterby, one of the parishes which formed Cleethorpes, and also Ytterby in Sweden, which is relatively frequent in Scandinavia and from which derive the names of the Chemical elements Yttrium, Ytterbium, Terbium and Erbium.
