Mumby is a village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is located 4 miles (6 km) south-east from the town of Alford. In 2001 the population was recorded as 352,[2] increasing to 447 at the 2011 Census.
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as consisting of 97 households.[3]
The church is dedicated to St Thomas of Canterbury and is of Early English style. It is a Grade I Listed Building.[4] The font is 14th century, and the western tower is 15th. It was repaired in 1844, with its chancel being rebuilt in 1874.[5] Further restorations were carried out between 1903 and 1908.[6]
The dedication to St Thomas has been disputed;[7] J. Charles Cox refers to a dedication to St Peter.[8] It was originally called St Thomas of Canterbury, but it would appear it was briefly changed to St Peter, but has reverted to its original name.[9]
In the churchyard is the lower part of a 14th-century Grade II listed and scheduled churchyard cross.[10][11]
From 1888 until 1970 Mumby Road railway station, mentioned in Flanders and Swann's song Slow Train, lay to the west of the village.
