North Owersby is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Owersby, in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, and about 6 miles (10 km) north from the town of Market Rasen. In 1866 North Owersby became a civil parish, on 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished and merged with Owersby.[1] In 1931 the parish had a population of 249.[2]
The parish church is dedicated to Saint Martin and is a Grade II listed building. It was totally rebuilt 1762 using medieval ironstone masonry, and was altered in the 19th century. The font dates from the 18th century.[3]
There are two Grade II listed farmhouses in the village, Hall Farm,[4] and Manor Farm, both of which were built of yellow brick about 1835.[5]
