Miningsby is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Revesby, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated about 6miles south-east from the town of Horncastle and 6 miles west-southwest from the town of Spilsby. In 1961 the parish had a population of 55.[1] On 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished and merged with Revesby.[2]
Miningsby lies at the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The village is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book with 48 households, which for the time was considered very large. The Lord of the Manor was Ivo Tallboys.[3]
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.[4]
An Anglo-Saxon knotwork stone, which had formerly been in St Andrew's chancel, is now in the City and County Museum, Lincoln.[5]
