Kirkby Underwood is a village and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England.[2] It is situated 4 miles (6 km) north from Bourne and 1 mile (1.6 km) west from the main A15 trunk road. To the east is Rippingale and the Fens. Directly to the south is the hamlet of Stainfield, and to the west, Hawthorpe.
Kirkby Underwood Grade I listed Anglican church is dedicated to St. Mary and All Saints.[3] In 1885 Kelly's Directory described the church as in Perpendicular style, with chancel, nave and south aisle, and a tower containing three bells. It was in a "very ruinous state". The parish register dated from 1569.[4]
The ecclesiastical parish is part of The Ringstone in Aveland Group of the Deanery of Beltisloe. The incumbent is the Revd David Creasey.[5]
Between the village and Hawthorpe is Callan's Lane Wood, run by the Forestry Commission. Near the wood are two radio masts[6] and a BT microwave transmitter.[7]
