Tickencote is a small village and civil parish in Rutland, England, tucked into gentle agricultural countryside a short distance from Stamford and close to the line of the A1. The hamlet lies beside the valley of the River Gwash, with surrounding arable fields and pockets of woodland that make it popular for quiet country walks and wildlife watching.
The village punches above its weight historically thanks to St Peter's Church, famed for a richly carved Norman chancel arch often cited as one of the finest survivals of Romanesque stonework in the country. Local life remains rural and community‑focused, centred on farming and a handful of small enterprises, while heritage interest and the peaceful setting attract a steady trickle of visitors and commuters to nearby towns.
