Kirkby Underwood sits a few miles east of Bourne in the district of South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England. The village has medieval roots - its name combining "kirkby" (church village) and "underwood" (below the wood) - and is centred on a historic parish church and small churchyard, set within gently rolling countryside of hedged arable fields and pockets of woodland that reflect the area's long farming history.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural, with arable farms and farmsteads defining the landscape and many residents commuting to nearby towns for work. Socially it is a quiet, close-knit community with a parish council, traditional cottages and the sort of occasional village events and local initiatives that characterise small rural settlements in Lincolnshire.
