Atterby is a hamlet in the civil parish of Bishop Norton,[1] in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.[2] It lies 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Bishop Norton.[3]

History

[edit | edit source]

In 1931 the parish had a population of 82.[4] Atterby was formerly a township in the parish of Bishop-Norton,[5] in 1866 Atterby became a civil parish, on 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished and merged with Bishop Norton.[6]

Atterby is now little more than a cluster of buildings at a crossroads; in the 19th century it was larger with 134 inhabitants, a butcher, shop and a carrier.[7]

By the early 20th century the Everett family had established a bus service, initially with a horse drawn omnibus and later as pioneers in the use of motorised buses. One of their early vehicles was the "Silver Queen".[8] Everett's buses operated in the local area for many years until quite recently. In 2006 JD Everett is still in the village but as a haulage company.

Grade II listed Atterby Mill[9] lies towards the A15 along a private road. It was powered by water from Atterby Beck (which separates the hamlet from Bishop Norton) supplemented by a steam engine. It produced animal feed ground from grain. It was built on the site of a medieval mill.[10] Nearby was the site of an old post windmill, long abandoned.[11][12]
