FOTHERBY, a parish in Louth district, Lincoln; near the East Lincoln railway, 3 miles N by W of Louth. It has a post office under Louth, and a side station, of the name of Fotherby-Gatehouse, on the railway. Acres, 1, 400. Real property, £2, 342. Pop., 267. Houses, 62. The property is subdivided. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Lincoln. Valne, £150. Patron, the Lord Chancellor. The church originally was of the 13th century, and consisted of nave, north aisle, and chancel, with western tower and south porch; but it underwent changes denuding it of the aisle, raising a pent-house on the tower, and rendering the rest of averagely late perpendicular English; and it eventually passed into so decayed a state that a resolution was taken, in 1861, to rebuild it entire, and on the original model. The new church was opened in 1864. There are Wesleyan, P. Methodist, and Free Methodist chapels.
