an ancient town of Lincolnshire in England; seated on the river Welland, on the edge of Northamptonshire. It is a large handsome place, containing five parish-churches, several good streets, and fine buildings. It had formerly a college, the students of which removed to Brazen-Nose college in Oxford. It has no considerable manufactories, but deals chiefly in malt. W. Long, c. 31. N. Lat. 52. 42.
