Ketton

Ketton ward covers the easternmost portion of Rutland, bordering both Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. The area is defined by the River Chater and the larger River Welland, which forms its northern boundary. The landscape is predominantly agricultural, with large arable fields characteristic of this part of England. The ward includes the main village of Ketton itself, along with the smaller settlements of Geeston and Tinwell, each contributing to a primarily rural community.

The local economy has long been connected to the quarrying of Ketton stone, a distinctive cream-coloured limestone. This durable material has been used in many historic buildings, including several colleges at Cambridge University. The large cement works, operational for over a century, remains a major local employer and a visible landmark. The area's network of public footpaths, including routes along the river valleys, provides access to the quiet, working countryside.
