Pointon is a small, quiet village in the district of South Kesteven in rural Lincolnshire, England. It sits amid gently rolling arable farmland and drainage channels typical of central Lincolnshire, giving it a strongly agricultural character with hedged lanes, brick and stone cottages and wide skies rather than urban bustle.
Although modest in size, the village is tied into local history through the nearby hamlet of Sempringham, associated with the medieval Gilbertine order, and the wider area retains a traditional community feel: a church, village hall and farming economy alongside people who commute to larger towns for work. The mix of historic associations, working countryside and a close-knit social life make Pointon representative of quieter Lincolnshire village life.
