Ropsley is a small village and civil parish in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, set in gently rolling agricultural countryside a few miles north‑east of Grantham. It has the compact feel of a traditional Lincolnshire village, with a parish church, village hall and a scattering of older stone cottages surrounded by arable fields and hedgerows.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and the local landscape and footpaths reflect a long farming tradition; today many residents combine local agricultural work with commuting to nearby towns. Community life is centred on village events, the church and pub, making it a quiet but sociable place for those who enjoy rural living within reach of larger centres.
