Holland Fen is a settlement in the Borough of Boston, Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately north-west from the market town of Boston, and less than west from the River Witham. ==History== Holland Fen has been known as the Haute Huntre, or Eight Hundred Fen. In 1720 Earl Fitzwilliam decided to drain the Holland Fen, having been frustrated by the local Commissioners of Sewers. He built the North Forty Foot Drain, which emptied by Lodowicks Gowt into the River Witham above Grand Sluice. The North Forty Foot was subsequently diverted to the South Forty Foot Drain at Cooks Lock and from there to Boston Haven through Black Sluice. The Haute Huntre was drained and enclosed in 1767.〔 Holland Fen was an ecclesiastical parish, created in 1812 and abolished in 1948. It is now part of the Holland Fen with Brothertoft parish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/relationships.jsp?u_id=10425591&c_id= )〕 Today, Holland Fen consists of: *Holland Fen *Ferry Corner Plot *River Bottom *North Forty Foot Bank *Hedgehog Bridge *Toft Tunnel 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holland Fen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
