Kelby is a hamlet in the civil parish of Heydour, in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies 5 miles (8 km) south-west from Sleaford, 9 miles (14 km) north-east from Grantham and 3 miles (5 km) south-east from Ancaster.[1] Kelby, with Heydour, Aisby, Oasby and Culverthorpe are the five hamlets within Heydour parish.[2]
