Guthram Gowt
__NOTOC__
Guthram Gowt is a small settlement in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated both east from Bourne and west from Spalding, and at a bend in the River Glen.
==History==
The word 'gowt' refers to a sluice or outflow,〔 - gives the word as the local pronunciation of 'Go Out'〕〔 - defines gowt as 'A water-pipe under the ground. A sewer. A flood-gate, through which the marsh-water runs from the reens into the sea.' (reen is a Somerset word, but unknown in the fens)〕 though the origin of the word is not known with complete certainty. It appears to be cognate with the French ''égout'', sewer. Though the modern mind associates the word 'sewer' with foul water, it was not always necessarily so.〔Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 1972 reprint: 'sewer'.〕 There are several 'gowt' placenames on the fens, including Anton's Gowt. In a reference〔("Paterson’s Roads, Eighteenth Edition, 1826" ), The Bourne Archive Gallery. Retrieved 15 August 2011〕 that predates the pumping works, the nearby turnpike toll gate was known as ''Guthram Cote''.〔 A collection of stripmap itineraries〕 This is indicative, as though the spelling and form of the name vary considerably, there appears to be no reference to the use of 'gowt' in connection with Guthram's Cote before the steam engine was installed. The earlier name was still in use contemporary with the use of the engine.
In 1189, when Richard I disaforested Spalding and Pinchbeck, Guthrams Gowt was known as ''Gudramsende'', and the precursor of the adjacent Forty Foot Drain was the ''Midfendic''.
