Welby is a small village and civil parish in the district of South Kesteven, in rural Lincolnshire, England. It occupies gently rolling arable countryside a few miles south of Grantham, giving the area a quiet, agricultural feel with hedgerow-lined lanes and open views across southern Lincolnshire.
The village has a modest historic core with a parish church and several traditional stone and brick cottages, and its past and present are closely tied to farming and nearby country estates. Today the community combines local agricultural activity with residents who commute to neighbouring towns, and village life is marked by small-scale social events and efforts to conserve the rural character.
