17: LM21 Spital-in-the-Street
Spital-in-the-Street lies on Ermine Street, a Roman road that runs in a straight line for 32 miles between Lincoln and the Humber Estuary, passing through no villages north from Lincoln until Broughton 25 miles (40 km) away. The first segment of its name, "Spital", comes from the ancient hospital for the poor which was situated here, having its origins in a Hermitage. Hermits, or 'Eremites' dwellers in the 'eremos' or wilderness, commonly placed their Hermitages in remote spots, often on highways, to display hospitality to travellers.
