Market Stainton is a very small, rural parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, set among gently undulating arable farmland. The settlement is sparsely populated and has few local services, so residents commonly rely on nearby market towns such as Louth and Horncastle for shops, schools and amenities.
The village has medieval roots - the "Market" element of the name hints at an earlier market status - and the landscape preserves hints of that past in earthworks and a church site. Agriculture dominates the local economy, and the parish today offers a quiet, close‑knit community and a good example of traditional Lincolnshire rural life.
