{{Short description|Abbey in Humberston, Lincolnshire, England}} {{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}} '''Humberston Abbey''' was an abbey in [[Humberston]], [[Lincolnshire]], England.
The [[Benedictine]] Abbey of [[Saint Mary]] and [[Saint Peter]] was founded in 1160 by William son of Ralf, son of Drogo, son of Hermer, as an abbey of the [[Tironensian Order]]. In 1305 the monastic buildings were destroyed by fire, and the brethren were obliged to beg alms and sell the [[advowson]] of one of their churches to the prior of [[Holy Trinity]], [[Norwich]] before they could rebuild them.
It adopted Benedictine orders sometime after 1413, as the [[Bishop of Lincoln]] in 1422 said that the monks of Humberston took their origin from St. Mary's, Hamby in the [[Diocese of Coutances]]. The abbey was never taken into the king's hands as an [[Alien house]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Humberston Abbey|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=38003&strquery=Humberston%20abbey|work=Houses of Benedictine of the Order of Tiron|publisher=Victoria County History|access-date=4 August 2011}}</ref>
