Claypole is a village and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies 4 miles south-east from the market town of Newark-on-Trent, just east of the Grantham to Newark stretch of the A1.

The county of Nottinghamshire forms the western and northern borders of the parish, with Fenton and Stubton parishes to the east and Dry Doddington to the south; the River Witham flows by the west side of the village.[1] The village has a population of around 1100 people and 560 dwellings, with the parish covering about 3,000 acres.[citation needed]

The East Coast Main Line passes close to the north-east of the village, with three level crossings, including one on Osterfen Lane[2] and another on Stubton Road.[3]

The name Claypole is from the Old English claeg and pol, for "clayey pool".[4] The village is recorded in the Domesday Book as Claipol and as having a church, a priest and one mill.

Claypole primary school is on School Lane.[5] Next to the school is a cricket and football field, home to local teams. In the early 1900s public benefactor Harry Coulby gifted the village school and village hall, and built an American-style house.[citation needed]

Claypole Grade I listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Peter.[6] The village public house is the Five Bells Inn on Main Street, and there is a butchers on Doddington Lane.
