Village

The name derives from the Old Scandinavian 'Kariby' or "village of a man named Kari," and first appears in 1199 as Careby. [3] The placename suffix, "by", is common in this part of the country, being part of the Danelaw.[ citation needed ]

Although very small, Careby is the largest settlement in the parish. An old manor house, successor to the rather grander home of the Hatcher family who once owned the parish, is down a small lane leading away from the railway, which also includes the 19th century rectory, now in private hands.[ citation needed ][ original research? ]
