Mumby is a village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is located 4 miles (6 km) south east of the town of Alford. In 2001 the population was recorded as 352.^[1]

The village was mentioned in Domesday Book of 1086 when it consisted of 97 households.^[2]

The church is dedicated to Saint Thomas of Canterbury and is of Early English style. It is a Grade I Listed Building.^[3] The font is 14th century, and the western tower is 15th century. It was repaired in 1844, with its chancel being rebuilt in 1874.^[4] Further restorations were carried out between 1903 and 1908.^[5]

The dedication to St Thomas has been disputed;^[6] J. Charles Cox refers to a dedication to St Peter.^[7] 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.^[8]

In the churchyard is the lower part of a 14th century grade II listed and scheduled churchyard cross.^[9][10]
