Friskney Eaudyke is a settlement in the civil parish of Friskney, and the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is 11 miles (20 km) north-east from Boston and 30 miles (50 km) east-southeast from the city and county town of Lincoln. Friskney Eaudyke is 1 mile (1.6 km) east from the parish village of Friskney, and the same distance north-east from the parish hamlet of Fold Hill. The A52 road, which runs locally from Boston to Skegness, is 800 yards (700 m) south-east.The settlement is centred on the northwest-to-southeast Eau Dyke Road, between Low Road at the north-west and the staggered junction with Sickling Lane and Chapel Lane at the south-east. Friskney Eaudyke comprises detached and semidetached houses, farms with associated buildings, a farm produce distribution company, a balloon supply & event company, a garage services company, and Grade II listed buildings.The listed Bridge Farmhouse, a late 18th-century two-storey red brick house, is on Low Road south from the junction with Eau Dyke Road. Over the junction and further north on Low Road is Ash Tree Farmhouse, a mid-18th to mid-19th-century gabled red brick house. At the north on Mill Lane off Low Road, and near the border with Wainfleet St Mary, is Hoyle's Windmill, of three-storeys and today converted to a storehouse by the addition of an attached building. Largely early 19th-century, it dates from 1730. At the south-west on Chapel Lane is the Grade II* listed 19th-century red brick Wesleyan Centenary Chapel, dating to 1839.In 1871 "Ancient British" pottery, and fragments of bone were found by workmen on Eaudyke Road at the south-east of the settlement. Kelly's Directory in 1885 noted the 1871 archeological finds by workmen as they were building the infants' school at 'Eaudyke'. The directory records a schoolmistress, and the Wesleyan chapel which it said was built in 1832. The listed trades at 'Eaudyke' in the 1933 Kelly's Directory included five farmers, a potato merchant, a saddler, a beer retailer, a shopkeeper, a grocer, a butcher, a baker, and a motor engineer.

Croft is a small village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The village is situated approximately 2 miles (3 km) north-east from Wainfleet, and 4 miles (6 km) south-west from Skegness. Croft is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book with 15 households, 120 acres (0.5 km2) of meadow and a salthouse. The parish church is dedicated to All Saints and is a Grade I listed building built of greenstone, dating from the 14th century. Monuments inside the church include kneeling alabaster effigies to Sir Valentine Browne (d.1600) and Elizabeth (Monson) his wife, with their fifteen children in relief below. Its inscription states that Browne was "Treasurer and Vittleter of Barwicke and dyed (about 1600) Treasurer of Ireland". A related alabaster monument is to Valentine Browne's son John Browne (d.1614), and his wife Cicely (Kirkman). A further (ashlar) monument is to William Bonde (d.1559), erected by his son Nicholas, President of Magdalen College, Oxford. In the floor of the south aisle and chantry is a late 13th or early 14th century brass, the half effigy of a knight in banded mail. A tablet on the south side of the tower mentions a restoration of 1656; the church was again restored in 1857. There is a tower windmill which is Grade II listed, built in 1814, which was raised in 1859 from four to seven storeys, and in 1949 reduced again to four. It comprises tarred red brick with brick battlements. No milling machinery survives inside. The Old Chequers Inn is a Grade II listed public house dating from the 18th century. Within the parish of Croft are two railway stations, one being the extant Havenhouse railway station, the other the now closed Seacroft railway station. Other settlements within the parish, which is mainly rural and extends to the coast, include New England, just east of Wainfleet All Saints. In 2011 REG Windpower announced plans to install a wind farm with six wind turbines on land at Bank House Farm near Croft. The plans are at consultation stage.
