A police appeal has been launched after Crowland’s historic Trinity Bridge was damaged.

The bridge dates back to the 14th century and once spanned the River Welland and one of its tributaries.
South Holland Police said in a statement: “We are appealing for information after an incident of criminal damage on East Street in Crowland.
On the morning of Monday March 27, damage was discovered to the South Street end of the Holy Trinity Bridge.
