Toynton Fen Side is a hamlet and linear settlement on Fenside Road in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It is one of a group with Toynton St Peter and Toynton All Saints.
The hamlet is to be found twelve miles north of Boston and eleven miles west of Skegness. The East Fen Catchwater Drain crosses west to east at the south of the hamlet.
According to trade directories Toynton Fen Side is a centre for growing wheat, barley, potatoes and beans, and has rich pasture land. The settlement was historically under the lordship of the Willoughby de Eresby Barony: in 1855, Peter Drummond-Burrell; in 1885, Clementina Drummond-Willoughby. There was a publican of The Wheatsheaf public house in 1855. A farmer and a publican was mentioned in 1872, where the publican was also a grocer. In 1933 there were two farmers, a smallholder, and a shopkeeper. There was a Primitive Methodist Chapel, dating to 1867, in the Toynton All Saints part of the hamlet. The chapel was variously in the Louth, Spilsby, and Leake Circuits.[1][2][3][4][5]
