Worlaby is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England, 6 miles (9.7 km) south-west from Barton-Upon-Humber and 5 miles (8.0 km) north-east from Brigg. It lies on the B1204, and to the east of the River Ancholme. It is one of the five Low Villages â€“ South Ferriby, Horkstow, Saxby All Saints, Bonby, and Worlaby â€“ between Brigg and the River Humber, named so because of their position below the northern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds.^[1] Worlaby was previously part of South Humberside administrative district, and before that, the North Lindsey division of Lindsey, Lincolnshire.

In the Domesday account, the village is listed as "Uluricebi" or "Wirichebi".^[2]^[3]

The original 13th- to 14th-century Grade II listed parish church dedicated to St Clement^[4]^[5] was re-built between 1873 and 1877, although the early Norman piers of the nave, windows and Late Saxon tower arch were re-used.^[6] The churchyard contains the war grave of a Second World War Home Guard volunteer.^[7]

Other listed buildings include Worlaby Hospital,^[2]^[8] originally almshouses founded by John, 1st Lord Bellasye of Worlaby, and built in 1663 for four poor women.^[6]^[9]
