Barrowby is a compact village and civil parish in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, perched on a ridge that gives good views over the Vale of Belvoir and the nearby market town of Grantham. The village retains a pleasing mix of stone cottages and later Victorian and 20th-century housing, with narrow lanes, a village green and easy commuter access to local roads and rail at Grantham.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and its name hints at ancient barrows in the landscape; the village character is shaped by a small parish church, local shops, a pub and community facilities. Barrowby is largely a residential community today with an active local scene - village groups, seasonal events and conservation-minded residents help sustain a quiet rural lifestyle while many people commute to nearby towns for work.
