History
Keisby comes from an Old Norse term meaning "Kisi's farmstead or village".[2] The village is mentioned in the Domesday account,[3] and has had different spellings over the years, from Chisebi to Kisebi and Kysebi.[2]
The English surname Kisby (and variants) is believed to originate from Keisby.[4]
Keisby was formerly a township in the parish of Lavington,[5] in 1866 Keisby became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished to form "Lenton Keisby and Osgodby".[6]
Modern times
Keisby is part of the Lenton, Keisby and Osgodby ecclesiastical parish, and The North Beltisloe Group of parishes in the Deanery of Beltisloe.[7] As of 2014 the incumbent is the Revd Mike Doyle.[7] There is no separate church, services taking place in the parish church at Lenton.
