Great Gonerby

Great Gonerby is a village and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies less than 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Grantham. To its north is the A1 and Gonerby Moor. It is 360 ft above sea level and overlooks the Vale of Belvoir to the west and Grantham to the south.

The urban sprawl from Grantham in the 1990s has meant that the village is separated from the town by only a few hundred metres.

Great Gonerby, with about 825 houses, has a social club, village shop, post office, and the Recruiting Sergeant public house. Harry's Place, with seating for 10, is noted for being the smallest Michelin Starred restaurant.

The parish church is dedicated to St Sebastian. It is part of the Barrowby and Great Gonerby group of the Deanery of Grantham. The incumbant is The Revd Peter Hopkins

A house called Cromwells Cottage takes its name from the tradition that Oliver Cromwell based his troops here before attacking Grantham.
