Fulsby Wood

Fulsby is a hamlet located on the River Bain north of Tumby. It was listed in Domesday Book of 1086 as having 4 households, 8 acres (32,000 m2) of meadow and 120 acres (0.5 km2) of woodland.[7][8] Most of Fulsby Wood is classified as semi-natural woodland, with the rest as plantation.[9]

In the seventeenth century Fulsby was the home of the Cressey family.[10]

Tumby Wood is a nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest.[11] The rents on a small farm at Fulsby were used by the trustees of the will of Sir John Nelthorpe to maintain Brigg Grammar School, and two poor boys from Legsby or Fulsby were educated, clothed, and looked-after by the school.[12]
