The hamlet of Coates by Stow is 2 miles (3.2 km) to the east but still within Stow parish.
There is no village here just a farm with a farmyard and a church standing nearby.

The church, dedicated to St Edith, is late Norman 12th-century, but has alterations and additions up to Georgian periods, including a double bellcote.
The church has a low and small nave and chancel.
It contains a 15th-century rood screen, the only one in Lincolnshire.
There is a Jacobean family pew at the west end and the rest of the seating is just rough benches sometimes described as "Rustic".
There is the royal coat of arms of Charles I dating from 1635 and brasses to a William Butler (d.1590) and his wife; the figures on these are small.
In a niche there is a demi-figure made of alabaster of a Brian Cooke who died in 1653.
There are also small pieces of stained glass.
Outside, just south of the chancel, is the tomb of the Maltby family comprising an urn on a table with tapering columns as legs, with a sarcophagus underneath.

There are earthworks in the hamlet, the site of the medieval village at Coates.
