Tetney

Tetney is a small village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.

Geography

The village is on the A1031 Cleethorpes-Mablethorpe road, just south of Cleethorpes and Humberston. A mile to the west is Holton Le Clay.

The village has a primary school, a pub called the Plough Inn on Market Place, a fish and chip shop, a small village shop, a golf club, a garden centre, two churches and a village hall. There is a nature reserve to the east of the village, home of the cardinal beetle, and used to be a water cress farm from 1948 to 1961. On the coast is the RSPB Tetney Marshes nature reserve, a grazing marsh and home of lagoon shrimps and Little Tern who live near saline lagoons.

The parish church was built in 1363 and dedicated to St Peter and St Paul.

The village hall is situated on the site of the playing fields which includes a cricket pitch, football pitch and, several years ago, a grass tennis court.

On the road to Tetney Lock is an oil terminal, to the east of the village, which stores oil for the Humber Refinery.

History

On the edge of the village is the site of a Marconi Beam Station from where telegrams were sent to Australia and India. When built is was state of the art and is important in the history of telecomunications. Only the bases for the masts remain and the original administration buildings which are now a small industrial complex.

The Louth Navigation ran from the village until 1924.
