Crowland

Town in Lincolnshire, England, 14 km/9 mi north of Peterborough; population (2001) 3,600. It grew up around an abbey founded in 716.

The Danes sacked the abbey in 870, and it was rebuilt and destroyed several times. Part of it is now the parish church and the rest is in ruins. A 14th-century three-cornered or ‘triangle’ bridge has been left standing on dry land in the centre of the town, after the rivers that it originally crossed were diverted.
