Deeping St. James is a large village and civil parish in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, forming one of the cluster of settlements known as the Deepings beside the River Welland. It sits on the edge of the drained fenland, with a mix of riverside meadows and agricultural lowlands, and lies very close to Market Deeping, making it part of a small but well‑connected local hub within easy reach of larger towns such as Peterborough and Stamford.
The village has medieval roots and is centred on the historic parish church of St James, while today community life is a mix of traditional farming and market gardening alongside growing commuter and small‑scale industrial activity. Local clubs, a village hall and regular events give it a distinct social character, and its riverside setting and historic buildings make it of interest to visitors exploring the Deepings and neighbouring fen country.
