Stowgate is a hamlet in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 2 miles (3 km) north-east from Deeping St James, and is linked to the Deepings group of villages.
Stowgate contains very few houses, most of which are farmhouses. The settlement grew up around Stowgate Farm – the farmhouse of which still exists – which was divided into a number of smaller farms intended to provide housing and agricultural land for those who contributed to war effort.[citation needed] These farms still exist.
Stowgate is first mentioned in the Domesday Book. Land there belonged to Gilbert de Gand, and there was a minimum population of 21 sokemen and 14 bordars. A church is also mentioned.[1]
An Ordnance Survey map from 1898 provides a visual record of Stowgate during that period.[2]
Stowgate contains a Bernard Matthews turkey farm.[citation needed]
