Grasby's 13th-century Anglican parish church, dedicated to All Saints, is opposite the village primary school.
The church is part of the Caistor group of parishes in the Deanery of West Wold.[3] The 2013 incumbent is The Rev'd Canon Ian Robinson.[4] In earlier times the vicar was Rev Charles Tennyson Turner, brother of the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson.[5]
The village school came close to closing at the end of the 20th century but remains open.[5] It is now Grasby All Saints Church of England Primary School, and grant maintained. The school received a Grade 2 (Good) judgement for "Overall effectiveness" in its 2013 Ofsted report.[6]
The village hall holds events such as Rock and Roll and Jive classes, runs a Learn Direct programme and is used by the village school for physical education lessons and a yearly Easter ceremony.[2]
Grasby has one public house, The Cross Keys,[5] on the Caistor to Brigg road, which for a time housed a village shop. A second public house, The Bluebell, on the corner of Church Hill and Canty Nook, is now closed.
Since 1987 Grasby has been twinned with the small French village of Saint-Rémy-de-Sillé in Sarthe,[5][7] whose main road has been renamed Rue de Grasby.[8]
In 2005 Grasby won the Central England Village of the Year competition.[2][5]
