Dalderby is both a small village and a small parish in the vale of the River Bain, three miles south of Horncastle. Thornton parish lies to the north and Scrivelsby parish to the east. The parish covers a mere 440 acres.
Dalderby village sits on the east bank of the Old River Bain which exists alongside the Horncastle Canal. If you are planning a visit:
- Take the A153 south out of Horncastle. It passes through the center of Dalderby.
- While you are there, hike along the Spa Trail for a nice walk. Photo taken in August, 2011, by Richard CROFT.
- See our touring page for visitor services.

J. THOMAS has a photograph of the War Memorial on Geo-graph, taken in September, 2013.
Margaret BRINN reports: "The Dalderby Cross itself carries the names of 11 men, from five local families in the village who fought in the war; all but one returned. The Cross was erected to recognise the Lincolnshire villages which sent the largest percentage of its menfolk to the front line prior to May 1st 1915. The names of the men who went were H BILLING, JH GARNER, L GARNER, H GARNER, RC GARNER, JE RYLATT, FA RYLATT, J SCHOLEY, TW SCHOLEY, W WHITE and A WHITE."
John EMERSON, who retains the copyright, provides these photographs of the war memorial at Dalderby:

- In April, 1936, this Civil Parish was abolished and the land was split up and attached to other nearby parishes.
