WELLAND (The), a river of Northampton, Leicester, Rutland, and Lincoln. It rises near Sibbertoft, within the NW border of Northampton; runs along the boundary between Northampton on the right and the other three counties on the left, past Market-Harborough, Rockingham, Stamford, and Market-Deeping, to a point 2 miles WSW of Crowland; and then goes northeast-ward, through the SE of Lincoln, past Spalding, to the Wash in the vicinity of Fossdyke. It has a total course of about 70 miles; and it is navigable, for small craft, up to Market-Deeping,-and with aid of a canal, thence to Stamford.
