Thurlby is a small village and civil parish in the district of South Kesteven, in Lincolnshire, England, lying close to the market town of Bourne. Set amid the gently rolling fields and agricultural land of southern Lincolnshire, the parish has a quiet rural character with hedgerows, arable farmland and the occasional pocket of woodland, making it popular with walkers and people seeking country homes within easy reach of local services.

With medieval roots, the village is centred on a historic parish church and a handful of traditional cottages and listed buildings that hint at its long past; agriculture has long shaped the local economy, though many residents now commute to nearby towns. Community life remains focussed around the church and village hall, with occasional local events and a social fabric typical of small Lincolnshire villages, valued for its rural heritage and peaceful setting.
