Sloothby is a small village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles (8 km) south from the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sloothby is in the civil parish of Willoughby with Sloothby, just over 1 mile (1.6 km) south-east from the village of Willoughby and 7 miles (11 km) north-east from the coastal resort of Skegness. In 1870-72 the township had a population of 242.[1]

The village is mentioned five times in the Domesday Book.[2]

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.

An electoral ward in the same name as the civil parish exists. This ward stretches south to Bilsby with a total population taken at the 2011 census of 2,027.[3]
