The River Welland has a confused identity between Uffington and Market Deeping, flowing in several channels, including this one which skirts Lolham Mill on the Northern side. This is the Roman Road of King Street, and it crosses what must have been marshy territory at the time in a straight line. There must have been Roman Bridge near here, although this one is a bit later. This is the 18th century incarnation of a bridge, and is grade II listed - see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1165282 .
