Sloothby is a small village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, standing about five miles south of the Lincolnshire Wolds. It is found just over a mile south-east of Willoughby, a village with which it shares a civil parish, and seven miles north-east of the coastal resort of Skegness.

The village is mentioned five times in the Domesday Book.[1]

The village has several farms, a Wesleyan chapel dating from the 1890s, and a small mid-Victorian church – formerly known as "Sloothby Mission" – which is now closed. There is also a small antiques store in the village.
