The hamlet of Girsby lies a mile north of Burgh on Bain. Girsby Manor, latterly the home of the Fox family, was demolished in the mid-twentieth century. The baroque-style gateway with sculpted foxes on pillars survives.

Girsby Manor (or Hall) was in the parish of Burgh on Bain and half a mile north of the village centre.

The house was built in the early nineteenth century and demolished in the 1950s.

For at least the last hundred years of its existence it was the home of the Fox family - many of whom were professional soldiers; one became High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1908.
