Crowland (nom moderne) ou Croyland (nom médiéval) est une ville du Lincolnshire, en Angleterre, située entre Peterborough et Spalding, qui possède deux sites historiques exceptionnels.

  • L'unique pont à trois têtes de pont, le Trinity bridge.
  • L'abbaye en ruines ; la chronique de Croyland, une importante source historique, est le fruit du travail d'un des occupants du monastère. Sainte Etheldrite (+ vers 834), fille du roi Offa de Mercie, aurait vécu recluse au voisinage de cette abbaye.
