Hougham is a small rural village and civil parish in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles east of the market town of Grantham. It occupies gently rolling arable countryside typical of southern Lincolnshire and is made up of a compact cluster of houses, a number of listed buildings and farmsteads set among open fields.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the local economy remains largely farm‑based, though many residents commute to nearby towns using the A1 and other regional roads. Social life revolves around the village and parish events, and the hamlet retains a quiet, close‑knit community feel with visible historic features that hint at its long rural past.
