Ropsley is a village about 8 km east of Grantham, Lincolnshire, England.
It has a basketball court, and two pubs: The Ropsley Fox (which has a pool table), and The Green Man. There is a disused quarry nearby. There is a running club based in Ropsley called the Ropsley Road Runners.
The stone church of St Peters dates back to Anglo Saxon times and dominates the view when you enter the village. The village was the birthplace of Richard Fox, the Tudor Bishop who founded the Grammar School at Grantham and Corpus Christi College at Oxford. There is an unusual 300 year old ring dam and the blue brickwork that formed the sheep wash can still be seen. The dam is now identified by a group of trees, ½ mile south east of the village which was once used as a sheep wash. There are good walks from the village past the ring dam to Little Humby.
