Old Somerby is a small village and civil parish in the district of South Kesteven in rural Lincolnshire, England, set among gently rolling farmland a few miles east of the market town of Grantham. Its lanes and hedgerows reflect the patchwork of arable fields and pastures typical of this part of the county, giving the place a quiet, rural feel while keeping reasonable road links to nearby towns.
The parish has an agricultural heritage visible in converted farm buildings and traditional cottages, and village life tends to centre on the church, local events and community activity rather than commerce; listed buildings and historic farmsteads hint at a long local history. Residents often commute to surrounding market towns for work and services, but the area remains valued for its landscape, strong sense of community and low-key rural character.
