Stallingborough is a village and civil parish in North East Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 1,234.
The area around Stallingborough may have been inhabited in prehistoric times; south east of the village there is evidence of an Iron Age complex of enclosures.
Stallingborough is recorded as a manor (as "Stalinburg" or "Stalingeburg") in the 11th century Domesday Book. The medieval village of Stallingborough was to the west of the modern village, and south of the 18th century church. The rights to hold a market and annual fair were granted by Henry III (13th century). Before the Black Death of the mid 14th century, the village had 50–60 households. This substantially decreased after the plague, but recovered to around 150 households by the mid 16th century. The medieval village is evidenced by earthworks, as well as cropmarks of fishponds, remains of ridge and furrow farming to the north, and a medieval cross in the churchyard of the modern church.
The medieval hagiography, On the Resting-Places of the Saints records that Stallingborough is the burial place of the Anglo-Saxon Saint Avbur. A chapel to St Avbur is mentioned in a will of Ric[hard] Hooton of Stallingborough dated 1530.
The village was also the site of a manor house, and associated formal gardens (post medieval, probably early 17th century). The medieval church collapsed in 1746, and the manor house was demolished in the same period. Enclosure in the 18th century reduced the population again, to around 67 households by 1758. St Peter & St Paul's Church was built in brick in 1779–81. In 1801 the village had a population of 274 in 59 houses, in 1821 343 persons in 63 houses. An 18th century extension of the Manor House, known as Stallingborough House, survived until the 1840s, when it was also demolished.
Stallingborough railway station and the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway opened around 1848, passing through the northern part of the village.
