Barrowby is a compact village and civil parish in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, sitting on higher ground just to the north‑west of the market town of Grantham. It retains a historic core of stone and brick cottages and a medieval parish church, and its elevated setting provides pleasant views over the surrounding agricultural landscape; part of the village is a designated conservation area.
The local economy is mainly rural and residential, with farming around the parish and many people commuting to nearby towns. Community life is active - centred on the church, the village hall and local clubs - and a programme of events and conservation-minded planning helps keep a traditional village character while remaining well connected to larger services and transport links.
