Aswarby (pronounced 'as-r-bee') is a village in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. Aswarby lies east off the A15 between Sleaford and the point where it crosses the A52, near Threekingham. With the village of Swarby, it forms the civil parish of Aswarby and Swarby.
Aswarby Grade I listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Denys.[1]
The village's Aswarby Hall, demolished after WWII with only the entrance gates now remaining, is the setting for a story by supernatural short fiction writer M. R. James.
Aswarby is the birthplace of the explorer George Bass.[2]
