There are several land holdings and manors documented in the Domesday Book in Mumby, which means 'Mundi's farmstead or village', and it appears to have had quite a large population. Several manors are recorded as belonging to Count Alan, some of which were assessed with manors in Hagworthingham. There was also a berewic belonging to Gilbert de Gand in Willoughby in the Marsh, and a berewic belonging to Eudo, who still owned land in Mumby at the time of the Lindsey Survey. {1}{2}
Remains of medieval settlement and field system are visible on aerial photographs. {3}
