East Firsby lies between Saxby and Spridlington, with West Firsby about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the west, near the A15 road. East Firsby civil parish was abolished to enlarge that of West Firsby in 1936.[1] There is no church.
The hamlet of Firsby is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Frisebi", with 22 households, 30 acres (0.12 km2) of meadow and a church, with Ilbert of Lacy as Lord of the Manor.[2][3]
The Manor House at West Firsby fell into disrepair and was demolished during the 1990s. At East Firsby is the mid 18th-century Grade II listed Manor Farmhouse,[4] and at West Firsby is a site of a deserted medieval village.[5]
There is an oilfield at West Firsby.[6]
