Stainby is a small hamlet of around 30 houses located in south west Lincolnshire in the district of South Kesteven. It is only a very short distance to the border with Leicestershire (along the Viking Way).
The hamlet is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086-7 as Stigandebi.[1]
There are no shops or pubs - the nearest is Colsterworth. The church, on Main Road, is dedicated to St Peter.
Stainby is on the B676 road which runs between Melton Mowbray (Buckminster Road) and Colsterworth (Colsterworth Road). The road is frequented by heavy goods vehicles from the nearby industrial estate at Sewstern and by vehicles heading from the Midlands towards East Anglia, although a quicker route is through Wymondham and South Witham.
Adjacent villages include Buckminster, North Witham, Colsterworth, Gunby, Sewstern and Skillington.
The East Midlands Off Road Club[2] Lincolnshire Land Rover Club[3], North West Lawnmower Racing Association[4] and Northern Off Road Club[5] (and others) hold events at the former Stainby quarry[6].
