It lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds, 4 miles (6 km) east from Caistor and 10 miles (16 km) south-west from Grimsby. In 1931 the parish had a population of 98.

The church, of 11th-century origin but with an incorporated earlier Saxon tower arch, was considerably restored and rebuilt in 1860 by James Fowler. The restoration was carried-out under instruction from Henry Thorold, who, in the 1870s, added a monument to his family within the church. Within the village is a further Grade II listed building, Cuxwold Hall, built in 1860. Cuxwold was the location of an emergency landing ground for airplanes during the Second World War and is now the home of Grimsby Airfield.

It lies in the Lincolnshire Wolds, 3 miles (5 km) north-east from Market Rasen and 7 miles (11 km) south from Caistor. Tealby parish lies to the south-east. The parish covers about 3,600 acres (15 km2) and includes the hamlets of Risby and Otby. The name 'Walesby' is thought to mean 'farm/settlement of Valr' or another suggestion is 'farm/settlement of the Britons'. St Mary's is an Arts and Crafts style church designed by the architect Temple Moore in 1913. It is a Grade II* listed building. The church was temporarily closed after the 2008 Market Rasen earthquake when a large crack appeared in the tower and masonry fell inside the church. St Mary's was also damaged in the 1930s when a hurricane dislodged its 'candle snuffer' spire resulting in its eventual removal. In the 1930s an earlier church, All Saints', was renovated after it fell into disuse. It is Grade I listed. Now known as the 'Ramblers Church', in its south aisle it features a stained-glass window of 1950, financed by the Grimsby and District Wayfarers Association, showing a central figure of Christ, with hikers with haversacks on the left and cyclists on the right. The Viking Way long-distance route passes close to All Saints'.
