Humberston Abbey is a Benedictine priory situated in the parish of Humberston, near Grimsby in Lincolnshire. Founded in the twelfth century, it operated as a daughter house of the Benedictine monastery of Crowland Abbey until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century. The site is marked by fragmentary remains of the priory buildings, including portions of the conventual structures that once comprised the religious community's domestic and ecclesiastical quarters. Today the abbey survives primarily as earthwork remains and scattered masonry, representing the physical legacy of religious life in medieval Lincolnshire.
