Brocklesby is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 1 mile (1.6 km) south from Habrough, 4 miles (6.4 km) south-west from Immingham, close to the border of both North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire, and near Humberside International Airport.
According to the 2001 Census Brocklesby had a population of 124. At the 2011 census the population was listed in the civil parish of Keelby.
The parish includes the settlement of Limber Parva (or Little Limber) which lies 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the south-west, and is the site of a deserted medieval village, defined by earthworks and crop marks of crofts, hollow ways and rectilinear enclosures.
Newsham Abbey was located to the north of the village in the hamlet of Newsham, now part of Brocklesby civil parish.
Brocklesby has a railway station platform and buildings which are now private property. The nearest railway station in current use is at Habrough.
The Grade I listed Brocklesby Hall ( 53°35'11.44"N 0°17'0.09"W ) is a large country house standing in the 27,000 acre (113 square kilometre) Brocklesby Park Estate. It probably dates from the 16th century, but was altered before 1708 and remodelled circa 1730. It was severely fire damaged in 1898, restored by the architect Sir Reginald Blomfield, and then reduced in size in the 20th century by the architect Claud Phillimore. It is built of brick in 3 storeys to a U-shaped floor plan with a 9-bay frontage. The 1898 fire and Phillimore's renovations destroyed most of the original interior features.
