Ashby cum Fenby is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, in the countryside about five miles south of Grimsby, and just east of the A18 road.

The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded that the village had three manors and 29 households which is considered to be quite large for that time.[1]
