Miningsby is a small village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It is at the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, about six miles south-east of Horncastle, and six miles west of the town of Spilsby.
The village is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book with 48 households, which for the time may considered large. The lord of the manor was Ivo Tallboys.[1]
Miningsby church was dedicated to St Andrew, but was declared redundant by the Diocese of Lincoln on 22 October 1975 and demolished on 14 November 1979, although the churchyard has been retained.[2]
An Anglo-Saxon knotwork stone, which had formerly been in St Andrew's chancel, is now in the City and County Museum, Lincoln.[3]
