Baston is a rural and ancient village in Lincolnshire.

Which can be found approximately three miles to the north-west of Market Deeping.

To visit by road take the A15 from Bourne to Market Deeping.

The local Church is St. John's, which is dedicated to St. John the Baptist.

The village of Baston can be found on the edge of the Fens lying between King Street, a road which was originally built by the Romans 2,000 years ago and the canal called Car Dyke which was used by the Romans to haul men and supplies to their vast armies in the north.

On the very edge of this pretty and ancient village is Deeping Fen.

Until the nineteenth century most of Deeping Fen was a common fen on which all the surrounding villages had rights of turbary, fowling, pasture and so on.

( Turbary - a piece of peatland from which turf may be cut and used for fuel.)

( Fowling is a term perhaps better known in The Fens than elsewhere, as the commercial equivalent of the field sport of wildfowling, in that it includes all forms of bird catching for meat, feathers or any other part of the bird which may have or could be sold on the market - at that time.)

The two main forms of business in Baston have always been arable farming and gravel extraction.

( This gravel was originally washed down from the - tundra environment to the west - and deposited in the - periglacial lake, known as - Lake Fenland - below the icy waters of which - the site of Baston then lay.)

These gravel pits a mixture of active and worked out flooded pits are situated around the cross roads formed by the minor road east from Langtoft church and the north-south road from the Baston-Spalding old road to the new Deeping by-pass.

Today the worked out flooded gravel pits have been developed and put to good use in leisure pursuits such as angling, birdwatching and watersports.
