Ashby Puerorum is a small village in the civil parish of Ashby with Scremby, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, situated to the west of Bag Enderby and north of the A158 between Partney and Horncastle.

Bishop Oliver Sutton (1280–1299) was responsible for the re-naming of this village, coining the name Ashby Puerorum or "the Little Boys' Ashby". This came about after the bishop assigned the revenues of the vicarage of Ashby to the upkeep of the boys in the cathedral choir.^{[citation needed]}

Ashby Puerorum Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Andrew.^[1] The church is chiefly Early English with Perpendicular windows and tower. There are brass effigies to Richard Lytleburye (d. 1521) and his wife Elizabeth (d. 1523).^[1][2]
