History of Spilsby
Spilsby was probably named before or no later than the 9th century Dane rule period. It literally translates from the phrase “Spila’s-by”, where by is old Norse for “place of dwelling”. Hence, it meant “Spila’s village” or, more accurately, “Spila lives here”; Spila (pronounced “Spiller”) being the local Viking warlord or chieftain, who acted as head of the immediate area. The town was recorded in the Domesday book as “Spilesbei. In 1082 it was not much more than a large farmstead and few surrounding crofts under the squireship of the Bishop of Durham.
