Rowston is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, about 6 miles (9.7 km) north from the town of Sleaford.
In the 1086 Doomsday Book Rowston is recorded as "Rowstune", with 34 households.
The limestone parish church is a Grade I listed building dedicated to Saint Clement and dating from the 12th century. Anglo Saxon decorated stonework has been re-used in the south chancel wall. It was refitted in 1741 and restored 1904-10.
There is a 15th-century font, and over a doorway in the tower a 12th-century tympanum decorated with a cross and other motifs.
A restored village cross stands on the green near the church and is both Grade II listed and a scheduled monument. It was restored in 1910 retaining the top step, base and shaft of the 15th-century original.
