Torksey, Lincolnshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though Torksey was treated as a town in the Domesday Book, it is now a village in Lincolnshire and on the eastern bank of the River Trent at grid reference SK837788.
The railway bridge over the Trent remains but it is no longer in use. The same is true of the 16th century hall known as Torksey Castle. It has not been in use since its destruction in August 1645, during the English Civil War. Indeed, it is on the river side of the bank which separates it from the dry land.
The Roman canal, much modified by later refurbishments, the Foss Dyke, joins the tidal River Trent here via a series of lock-gates.
[edit] Demographics
The parish had a population of 2342 in the 2001 Census.
