Kirkby Green is a small village in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The village lies east from Scopwick (where the population is included) on the B1191 road to Timberland, 10 miles (16 km) south-east from the county town of Lincoln, 6.5 miles (10.5 km) south-west from Woodhall Spa, and 8 miles (13 km) north from Sleaford.[1]
Kirkby Green was formerly a civil parish until 1931, when it became part of the parish of Scopwick.[2]
At the eastern end of the village is a level crossing where the road crosses the Peterborough to Lincoln Line, formerly the site of Scopwick and Timberland railway station.
