Asterby is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book with 18 households and 120 acres (0.5 km2) of meadow.[2] Three human skeletons and a dagger were dug up in 1821 in a field near the church.[3][4]
Asterby church, which was dedicated to St Peter, is no longer open to the public, having been sold into private ownership. The churchyard burial ground is open to the public, and is used for local burials. It dates from the 14th century, with alterations around 1900 by W. Mortimer and Son.[5]
