Markby is a village and civil parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) north-east of Alford.

The church of St Peter's is the only remaining thatched church in Lincolnshire. Popular with tourists, it is still used for weddings, christenings and funerals, as well as normal services.[citation needed] St Peters is surrounded by the remains of a moat, part of Markby Priory of St Peter (dissolved in 1536) founded by Ralf FitzGilbert during the reign of Henry II.[1] The church is believed to have been built of stone from the old priory, and the bell is believed to be the priory's refectory bell.[2] [3]
