or CROULAND, an ancient town and parish of Lincolnshire, situated in a low flat district, about eight miles N.E. from Peterborough. It stands at the confluence of the Welland with two smaller streams; and at their junction there is a curious triangular bridge, built in the reign of Edward II., which is, however, passable only on foot. There are also several interesting remains of a famous mitred abbey, which was built about the end of the eleventh century on the site of an ancient Anglo-Saxon monastery, destroyed by the Danes. Among its abbots was the historian Ingulphus. Pop. 2466.
