Thonock is a small civil parish in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, lying just to the west of Gainsborough and close to the floodplain of the River Trent. The landscape is predominantly flat, working farmland with scattered farmsteads and a quiet, rural feel, while its nearness to Gainsborough provides easy access to shops and services.
There are earthwork traces that hint at an earlier settlement and a long-standing agricultural tradition; today the local economy remains largely farm-based with a number of residents commuting to nearby towns for work. Socially it is low-density and relies on neighbouring centres for most facilities, but it retains a strong sense of local landscape and history.
