Toft, Lincolnshire

Toft is a small village in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England.

[3] The village gave its name to the Toft Tunnel on the former Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway (closed in 1959), which ran about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north.

It is now managed as a nature reserve[4] Toft Hotel Golf Course is on the southern edge of the village.

The East Glen river flows through the village, also to the south.

[5] Although there is no church today, some books about the history of Crowland Abbey say that the patronage of the church in Toft was gifted to the Abbey on the occasion of the start of its re-build in 1113 following the devastating fire of 1091.
