History

Keisby comes from an Old Norse term meaning "Kisi's farmstead or village". The village is mentioned in the Domesday account, and has had different spellings over the years, from Chisebi to Kisebi and Kysebi.

The English surname Kisby (and variants) is believed to originate from Keisby.

Keisby was formerly a township in the parish of Lavington, in 1866 Keisby became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished to form "Lenton Keisby and Osgodby".

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. As of 2014 the incumbent is the Revd Mike Doyle. There is no separate church, services taking place in the parish church at Lenton.
