Geology
The parish's geology is a complex mixture of numerous strata of Jurassic rocks with the highest ground formed of glacial drift. The northernmost part lies on the gravels and sands which filled the valley of a Cromerian Stage river. To the east and west of Careby are patches of chalky glacial till, the eastern one overlying a thin remnant of Kellways beds with cornbrash fairly extensively exposed to its south. There are exposures of Blisworth clay, Blisworth Limestone, Upper Estuarine Series, and Upper Lincolnshire Limestone. Holywell’s quarries supplied stone for various building projects including Windsor Castle.{{cite web|title=Geology of Britain|url=http://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain/home.html|publisher=British Geological Survey|accessdate=21 August 2013|archive-date=2 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161202013758/http://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain/home.html|url-status=dead}}Zoom map to location, click on layers for description
