Thorpe on the Hill is a small village and civil parish in the district of North Kesteven, in the county of Lincolnshire, England. It sits amid gently undulating arable countryside a short distance from the city of Lincoln, and its name reflects the area's medieval and Norse settlement patterns - "Thorpe" being an old word for a small secondary settlement.
The village retains a rural character with farming still important locally, while many residents commute into Lincoln and nearby towns for work, giving it a mix of long-standing local families and newer commuters. Community life is typical of small Lincolnshire villages, centred on local events, the village hall and parish activities, and the surrounding landscape makes it popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter base close to regional amenities.
