Navenby annual carnival. Despite its size, the village boasts, a butcher, a baker, two supermarkets, a chemist, a florist, an antique shop, and two pubs.

Originally a trading post along Ermine Street, the Roman road between London and York, Navenby’s strategic location fostered early connectivity in England, a legacy that persists in its modern role as a commuter hub for Lincoln and Grantham. While nearby villages are declining Navenby high street buzzes with independent commerce, shrugging off the dormitory town blight that has afflicted its neighbours.

St Peter’s Church Primary School, and its adherence to the Christian message contribute to the success of the village as a cohesive community along with more secular establishments such as the Lion & Royal pub, notable for it being the location of distinguished RAF pilot Guy Gibson’s wedding night.
