So called from the Roman canal called the 'Car-Dyke' that runs through the parishes. The canal was thought to have been initiated during the reign of the Roman Emperor Agricola and served the purpose of transporting men and materials through the fens from Peterborough by barge first to Lincoln, then by the Fosdyke canal to Torksey and finally by Trent and Ouse to York. This was their water-highway. Today the parish group consists of the villages of Billinghay, Martin, Martin Dales, Tattershall Bridge, Timberland and Walcott.
