Gunby and Stainby sit in the district of South Kesteven in rural Lincolnshire, a few miles south‑west of Grantham close to the county boundary with Leicestershire. The two small villages are set in gently rolling arable and pasture farmland, connected by quiet lanes and hedgerows, and agriculture remains the dominant local activity while a number of residents commute to nearby towns for work.
The settlements have deep agricultural roots and contain several traditional farmhouses and older buildings that reflect a long local history; social life tends to centre on village gatherings and community events rather than shops or industry. The surrounding countryside, with its lanes and public footpaths, is popular for walking and wildlife watching and gives a strong sense of rural continuity within Lincolnshire and England.
