Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Claxby like this:

CLAXBY, a parish in Spilsby district, Lincoln; 1½ mile W of Willoughby r. station, and 3 S of Alford. Post town, Alford. Acres, 590. Real property, £1, 375. Pop., 103. Houses, 18. Traces of a Roman camp, and tumuli crowned with trees, are here; and limestone is found. The living is a vicarage, annexed to the rectory of Well, in the diocese of Lincoln.
