Lying 1½ miles north east of Brigg in North Lincolnshire,
the ancient village of Wrawby is known to have been the site of a settlement
from as early as Roman times. The oldest surviving building in the village
is the church of St Mary, which is probably Saxon in origin. The current
structure has a 13th century tower and pillars. The font is 14th century
with a carved Jacobean cover
The graveyard surrounding the church was closed in 1857 when a new cemetery
was opened on a larger site on the outskirts of Brigg, but there are
still a number of fine headstones in situ for the family historian to
view.
Wrawby church originally also served the township of Brigg until a new
church was built there in 1872. There were additionally in the village
an Independent Chapel (built 1802), a Wesleyan Chapel (built 1827) and
a Temperance Hall (built 1849).
A new Methodist Chapel was built in 1895 and served the village for over a century, finally closing in 2005.
