Kirkby on Bain is a small rural parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, tucked into the shallow valley of the River Bain. The name – "Kirkby" meaning a church village – hints at Norse and Anglo‑Saxon roots; the settlement sits on the southern fringe of the Lincolnshire Wolds and is characterised by mixed farmland, hedgerows and small pockets of woodland that make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
Locally the economy is largely agricultural with many people commuting to nearby market towns such as Horncastle and Woodhall Spa. The community retains a strong village feel, with local clubs, a village hall and historic stone buildings and lanes; traces of old field patterns and lanes give a clear sense of a long rural past.
