Moulton Chapel is a small rural hamlet in the district of South Holland in Lincolnshire, England, set in the flat, low-lying landscape of The Fens. The surroundings are dominated by large arable fields, drainage ditches and straight roads, with agriculture - particularly vegetable and bulb production and associated food processing - shaping the local economy and scenery.
Its name reflects a local chapel origin and the area’s history of land reclamation and drainage dating back several centuries; that engineered landscape gives long vistas, strong skies and an identifiable Fenland character. Social life tends to be village-centred and seasonal, linked to the farming calendar, while nearby market towns such as Spalding and Boston provide services, markets and transport connections.
