Fosdyke

Fosdyke is a village and civil parish in Lincolnshire, England. It lies about 9 miles (14.5 km) south of Boston just off the A17, and 2 miles (3.2 km) east from the junction of the A17 with the A16. The village is near the mouth of the River Welland, and the parish extends across the river to include both ends of the hamlet of Fosdyke Bridge. The name derives from the Old English and Old Norse "fotrs dic", meaning Fotr's (personal name) ditch.
