__NOTOC__ Pinchbeck is a village and civil parish in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated north from the centre of Spalding. The name Pinchbeck is derived from either the Old English ''pinc+bece'' (Minnow Stream) or ''pinca+bece'' (Finch Ridge). The Anglican village church is dedicated to Saint Mary, and is over 1,000 years old. It has a wide nave with mid-12th-century arches, and a 15th-century single hammer beam roof supported by large gilded angels carrying the heraldic escutcheons of the Pinchbeck family. The chancel is by restorer Herbert Butterfield. Village schools are Pinchbeck East C of E School Primary School and Pinchbeck West St Bartholomew's C of E Primary School. ==Pinchbeck Marsh== Pinchbeck falls within the drainage area of the Welland and Deepings Internal Drainage Board.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wellandidb.org.uk/ )〕 The board maintains Pinchbeck Engine House, a museum which houses a drain engine, built to drain Pinchbeck Marsh in the early 19th century. The marsh is also the location of the highest point in what was Parts of Holland an historic division of Lincolnshire. At only 8 metres above sea level, the high point at is the lowest of those listed for the historic counties and subdivisions in 1964. Visiting this lowest peak near Vernatt's Drain is of interest to participants in the sport of Hill bagging and Highpointing.〔(Pinchbeck Marsh )〕 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「Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
