THE VILLAGE
Tealby is often said to be one of the best places to visit in Lincolnshire. Nestled on the edge of the gentle slopes of the Lincolnshire Wolds, this location can sometimes appear to give Tealby its own micro-climate.
Classed as an Area of Outstanding Beauty with nearly 600 people living in this conservation area, it attracts many visitors with its picturesque houses, walks, views and local businesses.
Tealby has always been a pretty village and as such supports a vibrant community with an active church, school, community-run shop, two pubs, a tearoom and many local businesses all benefiting from the influx of visitors, walkers, and cyclists who regularly stop off to enjoy what the village has to offer.

Tealby has a long and rich history that can be seen in its buildings, of which 31 are listed. It is thought that it was first settled in the 5th Century by East Germanic Taifali tribal people.
The Viking army settled in the village in the 9th Century and Viking connections can still be seen in old Danish names such as Teal-by itself, the ‘by’ meaning farmstead or village, ‘Thorpe’ meaning a secondary settlement, ‘Beck’ meaning stream, and ‘Smooting’ – a narrow passage between houses (The picturesque ford at the bottom of the narrow and steep Beck Hill is one of a number of beauty spots and leads out into the rolling hills of Bayons Park).
