Ketton is an electoral ward in Rutland, England, centred on the village of the same name close to the county border with Lincolnshire and near the market town of Stamford. The ward mixes compact village areas with the distinctive industrial landscape of extensive limestone quarries and a longstanding cement works that have helped shape the local economy and skyline.
The area is noted for Ketton stone, a Jurassic limestone used in building, and a notable medieval parish church; disused workings such as Ketton Quarry have become important wildlife and walking areas. The result is a community where industrial heritage, rural character and local clubs and schools form an active social fabric.
