Tetney is a village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, just west of the Prime Meridian.
==History== On the edge of the village is the site of a Marconi Blend station from where telegrams were sent to Australia and India as part of the Imperial Wireless Chain in 1927. When built it was state of the art, and it is important in the history of telecommunications because it established the first radio link between the United Kingdom and Australia. Only the bases for the masts remain; the administration buildings are now a small industrial complex.
