Stow (or, archaically, Stow-in-Lindsey) is a village and civil parish within the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is 11 miles (18 km) north-west of Lincoln and 6 miles (10 km) south-east of Gainsborough, and lies along the B1241 road. The total resident population was 355 at the 2001 census,[1] increasing to 365 (and including Thorpe in the Fallows) at the 2011 census.[2]
The parish of Stow, which includes other localities such as Coates, is today a mixture of modern brick and older stone-built housing, some of the latter being thatched. The village has a public house, the Cross Keys, a Methodist chapel, and the remains of a large minster church.
There is another Stow in Lincolnshire, the site of a lost village and medieval fair, between Threekingham and Billingborough. The location is now known as Stow Green Hill. There is also Shepeau Stow near Spalding.
