Barrowby

Barrowby is a village and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England.

From the village it is possible to see Belvoir Castle, Lincoln Cathedral, and the power stations in the Trent valley, including West Burton and Cottam, near Gainsborough over 40 miles (60 km) away.

Adjoining villages include Sedgebrook, Harlaxton, Denton and the hamlets of Casthorpe and Stenwith.

From 2004 until recently, an annual Barrowby Gala and Beer Festival was held on the village green.

The event, with stalls, games, fairground rides, and tug of war, was organised by a committee of village residents.

Until 1959 there was a second public house, The Marquis of Granby Inn,[11] on the corner of Welby Court and Main Street.

The Anglican Grade I listed parish church, dedicated to All Saints, was built in the 13th and 14th centuries from ironstone and limestone, in the Early English and Perpendicular Gothic styles.

[12] It includes a medieval door on the south side of the chancel, a humorous corbel at the foot of a south window, depicting a head that seems to have been pinched out of place by the adjacent buttress, and a blocked north door.

[13] The ecclesiastical parish belongs to the Barrowby and Great Gonerby group in the Deanery of Grantham, Diocese of Lincoln.
