Saxelbye (or Saxelby) is a village in the civil parish of Grimston, in the district of Melton in Leicestershire, England. The village lies about three miles to the north-west of Melton Mowbray and is situated on the southern slope of the ridge that makes up the southern boundary of the Vale of Belvoir. In 1931 the parish had a population of 75.[1] On 1 April 1936 the parish of Saxelby was abolished and merged with Grimston.[2]
The Grade II* church with its crocketed spire is dedicated to St Peter.
