context_page_description: Moulton is a village in the civil parish of The Moultons, in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the B1537 road, 5 miles east from the centre of Spalding and 3.5 miles west from Holbeach.
  Moulton is the primary village of an extensive Fenland parish, over 16 miles in length. The civil parish includes the smaller villages of Moulton Chapel, Moulton Seas End and Moulton Eaugate. The separate village of Moulton Chapel is about 2 miles south of Moulton and a similar distance east of Cowbit.
context_section_description: Moulton's chief landmarks are All Saints' Church, known as "The Queen of the Fens", and Moulton Windmill, the tallest tower mill in the United Kingdom.
  All Saints' Church was built about 1180, instigated by Prior John of Spalding. It took approximately 60 to 70 years to build, and was heavily restored from 1866 to 1867 by William Smith. The church has a rood screen dating from around 1425. There is a memorial in the floor of the church to Prudence Corby, who apparently died on "Julye the 36th 1793".
  Moulton Windmill, built in 1822, ground wheat and other products until 1995, despite losing its sails in 1895. The Friends of Moulton Mill was established to restore the Grade I listed mill to full working order. The mill was a subject of the first series of BBC2's Restoration, after which it received a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, and benefited from fundraising events. A café and shop was built, and the mill adapted for disabled access. New sails were fitted on 21 November 2011 and on 28 April 2013 the first bag of flour to be ground with wind power in over 100 years was produced.
  The remains of Moulton Castle, now a small mound of earth and a moat, lie south of the village.
  Located nearby, just off the A151, is the Elloe Stone, believed to mark the site of the moot of the Elloe wapentake in Danish times.
