Gourt Home::Gourt :: Market Deeping
Market Deeping is a town in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom, lying on the north bank of the River Welland and the A15 road. It is the second largest of The Deepings and its eponymous market has been held since at least 1220. The river here forms the border of Lincolnshire — the Peterborough town centre is about 8 miles south.
The town is known for its stone buildings dating back to the seventeenth century, its largely fifteenth century church dedicated to Saint Guthlac, and the remains of a market cross. Notable people from the town include Charles Hardwicke.
Recently, extensive work has been carried out to give young people in the area something to do. This work includes a skate park called Woody Heights and a bmx track.
Notable buildings in the town are the Deeping Stage Hotel, the Towngate Inn, The Bull Inn and The Coach House Inn (located by the River Welland).
The £10m four-mile A15 and A16 bypass opened in July 1998.
The local football team is called Deeping Rangers
