All Saints' retains some 13th century work, including the north arcade and the south door (dogtooth in the hoodmould) to the nave.

Much of the church however was rebuilt in Victorian times, notably by Charles Buckeridge in 1869.

Charles Turner (formerly Tennyson), the brother of the famous poet, was rector here from 1835 until his death in 1879.

This mill originated in neighbouring Owmby in the mid-eighteenth century.

In 1845 or 1846 it was moved from Owmby to Grasby and in due course a brick round house was built.

It was dismantled in the 1920s.
