Geography
The village lies two miles east of Stamford on the A1175 (the former A16) where the low Jurassic clay and cornbrash ridge on which it stands lies 100 ft or so above the level of The Fens. Uffington Park, the grounds of a country house demolished by fire in 1904, lies between the village and the river. Subsidiary buildings of Uffington House remain.
Community
The village holds an annual Scarecrow Adventure trail where visitors participate in early May Bank Holiday festivities and search for scarecrows around the village.
The parish church is dedicated to St Michael & All Angels, and is in the Uffington Group of churches that also includes Tallington, Barholm, West Deeping Wilsthorpe, Braceborough and Greatford. On the west side of the village is a nursery, and on the Market Deeping side, the Ye Olde Bertie Arms public house on Bertie Lane.
Until 1961 the village was served by Uffington and Barnack railway station.
Lost village
To the north-east is Casewick Hall. This is the location of a Deserted Mediæval Village mentioned as "Casuic" in the Domesday survey, and as "Casewick" in a tax list of 1334. By 1816 only Casewick Hall and one other house had survived.[2]
