Metheringham Rural is a predominantly agricultural ward in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, sitting in the gently rolling fen-edge landscape between the city of Lincoln and market town of Sleaford. The area comprises small villages, hamlets, arable fields, hedgerows and drainage ditches, and attracts wildlife such as waders and farmland birds; there are also a network of public footpaths and quiet lanes popular with walkers and cyclists.
Local life is village-centred, with parish churches, halls, pubs and community groups playing a big role, and many residents commuting to nearby towns for work while farming and food-related enterprises remain important locally. The ward has a notable wartime legacy in the form of RAF Metheringham, a former Second World War bomber base whose memorial and heritage interest add a strong historic dimension to the community.
