Steeping River
The River Lymn is a river in Lincolnshire, England. It rises in the Wolds on the eastern slope of Castcliffe Hill in Fulletby parish. It flows south-eastwards to the Lincolnshire Marsh, where it becomes known as the Steeping River on the boundary of Great Steeping parish. The main channel is supplemented by the Wainfleet Relief Channel as it passes Wainfleet All Saints, and the relief channel is joined by the old course of the Lymn. Once the two channels rejoin, there are three flood defence structures to protect the region from flooding by the North Sea. Route The river rises on the southern slope of Belchford Hill, to the east of Belchford and close to the contour. It flows to the south and then to the east to reach Tetford,Ordnance Survey, 1:25,000 map where there is a grade II listed water mill and mill house.

Bluestone Heath Road
The Bluestone Heath Road is an ancient route and ridgeway across the Lincolnshire Wolds in Lincolnshire, England. The surviving parts are somewhat fragmented in places, but many still bear the name. Route The route begins at Candlesby and runs northbound to Caistor, following closely an ancient ridge trail across the spine of the wold. It climbs to a height of 98 metres (320 feet) above sea level near Tetford, and, on a fine day, provides a view of the hamlets, fields, hills and landmarks of the area, such as Lincoln Cathedral, Boston Stump and the North Sea. The route is marked on the ''Landranger No 122'' (Skegness Area) Ordnance Survey map. History The route is thought to have been developed by the earliest Celtic settlers of the region and used as a drove road for moving livestock. The primary evidence for this is the route's width compared to nearby routes and its relative distance from existing settlements of the time. The route continued to be used by the Roma ...

A158 Road
The A158 road is a major route that heads from Lincoln in the west to Skegness on the east coast. The road is located entirely in the county of Lincolnshire and is single carriageway for almost its entirety. The road is approximately long. The road gets quite congested with holiday traffic during the summer. Lincoln to Horncastle Before the Lincoln Bypass was built (in stages) in the mid-1980s, the A158 historically went along ''Wragby Road'' (now the A15). Even earlier the A158 followed the northern end of ''Canwick Road'', the former B1188, over Pelham Bridge since its opening in 1958, and along ''South Park Avenue'' which was also built in 1958, to meet the former A46 at St Catherine's. This was parallel to the former western section B1190. The A15 at the time followed the west of Lincoln town centre, then along ''Silver Street''. The road begins at a roundabout where the A15 Lincoln Eastern bypass links up with the rest of the bypass. From here the route heads north-ea ...

Parish Meeting
A parish meeting, in England, is a meeting to which all the electors in a civil parish are entitled to attend. In some cases, where a parish or group of parishes has fewer than 200 electors, the parish meeting can take on the role of a parish council, with statutory powers, and electing a chairman and clerk to act on the meeting's behalf. Every parish in England has a parish meeting. Function Parish meetings are a form of direct democracy, which is uncommon in the United Kingdom, which primarily uses representative democracy. In England, the annual parish meeting of a parish with a parish council must take place between 1 March and 1 June, both dates inclusive, and must take place no earlier than 6pm. In areas where there is a parish council, the chairman of the parish council shall chair the parish meeting, and the parish meeting has none of the powers listed in the next section of this article. It acts only as an annual democratic point of communication. Powers where there is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

England
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Wales to its west and Scotland to its north. The Irish Sea lies northwest and the Celtic Sea to the southwest. It is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain, which lies in the North Atlantic, and includes over 100 smaller islands, such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight. The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Paleolithic period, but takes its name from the Angles, a Germanic tribe deriving its name from the Anglia peninsula, who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in the 10th century and has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century.
