ITMB act as a bridge builder bringing the Traveller communities, service providers and policy makers together, stimulating debate and promoting forward-looking strategies to promote increased race equality, civic engagement, inclusion, service provision and community cohesion. For further information about ITMB visit www.irishtraveller.org.uk 1. Introduction and background In December last year, the first ever census figures for the population of Gypsies and Irish Travellers in England and Wales were released. In all 54,895 Gypsies and Irish Travellers in England and 2,785 in Wales were counted.1 While the Census population is considerably less than previous estimates of 150,000-300,000 it is important to acknowledge that tens of thousands of community members did identify as Gypsies and Travellers. In the absence of a robust figure as a comparator to the census, the ITMB undertook research to estimate a minimum population for Gypsies and Travellers in England, based on Local Authority Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessments (GTAA)2 and the Department for Communities and Local Government bi-annual Caravan Count. Definitions of Gypsies and Travellers For the purposes of this report it is important to understand the varying definitions of Gypsies, Irish Travellers and other Travelling groups in official data sources.

  • Spalding Prison
    SPALDING PRISON Her Majesty’s Prison for the parts of Holland and Kesteven By David Gray Officially known as “Her Majesty’s Prison for the parts of Holland and Kesteven” it adjoined the Sessions House off the Sheep Market. It was improved in 1848-52 and enlarged to have 95 separate cells, airing yards, and workshops. EARLY HISTORY OF SPALDING PRISON Although there are cells underneath the Sessions House, it was never a Prison. The Prison was in Broad Street, built in 1619 as a House Of Correction, for the ‘keeping and correcting and setting to work of rogues, vagabonds, sturdie beggars and other vagrant idle and disorderly persons’. It was used until 1834 and then demolished and the site partly used for the Methodist Church. SPALDING PRISON IN THE SHEEP MARKET A new Prison was built next to the Sessions House in the Sheep Market, which was completed in 1836. It had all the conveniences, a human treadmill for the prisoners to walk on to grind their own flour, lots of cells for solitary confinement and 48 sleeping cells and a Chapel. Human Treadmill similar to the one that would have been used in the Prison Executions took place publicly in Spalding Market Place. The last man to be hung was in 1742, and his body afterwards “Gibbeted”, (hung in chains) on Vernat’s Bank. Spalding also used Stocks (heavy timber frame with holes for confining the ankles and sometimes the wrists) and a Pillory (a device made of a wooden or metal framework erected on a post, with holes for securing the head and hands) , and a Tumbril (a two- wheeled cart that tipped up, used to transport prisoners) .

  • LINCOLNSHIRE (Parts of HOLLAND)
    LINCOLNSHIRE (Parts of HOLLAND) Holland was the smallest of the three Parts into which Lincolnshire was traditionally divided. It was bordered to the west by the Parts of Kesteven, to the north by the Parts of Lindsey, and to the east by the North Sea. To the south, the adjacent counties were Rutland, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. Holland consisted of three wapentakes, Skirbeck, Kirton and Elloe. At certain times and for certain purposes, the first two were combined in the administrative region of North Holland, while Elloe was known as South Holland. The announcement of the weights and measures in 1826 came from the single authority for Holland. In 1857, a unified police force for the whole of Lincolnshire was established, with officers moving between the Parts, and the inspection of weights and measures became its responsibility. The ancient boroughs of Boston and Spalding had separate jurisdiction. There is little evidence of activity in Spalding, where the county inspector for Elloe lived, and the authority officially took over in 1862. Boston remained a separate authority until the great reorganisation of 1974. It was the centre for numerous commercial activities, and the trade in scales and weights flourished there.

  • The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses
    The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses Jonathan S. Mackman D.Phil. Thesis University of York Department of History August 1999 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the impact of the Wars of the Roses upon the people, government and landed structure of a hitherto under-studied shire. It is intended as a bridge between the numerous post-McFarlanite county studies of recent years and the specific issue of the Wars, a conflict generally approached from a central perspective. It begins by examining Lincolnshire's landed society during the later Lancastrian period, stressing the county's political isolation, the sheer size and collective wealth of its population, but also the lack of any dominant political force. It examines the nature of local government, particularly the changing social profile of local officers, and also the issue of local violence. In particular, it highlights the effects of faction and manipulation of justice in an otherwise relatively law-abiding county, and the influence of the shires upon the descent into warfare. The thesis then addresses Lincolnshire's experience of the Wars themselves, particularly stressing the limited participation of the resident population. The Lincolnshire Rebellion of 1470 is described in detail, this shadowy episode being carefully reconstructed in order to gain a fuller understanding of its importance. This is then tied in with a discussion of how the Wars had only a limited effect on Lincolnshire's social and landed structures, yet radically altered its relationship with the Crown. It highlights the tension between the established order and the Yorkist administrative elite, and the way this became embodied in a local power-struggle which, it is argued, led to the Rebellion and ultimately contributed to Edward IV's own deposition.

(Lin- coln [?] Printed by Stamford Mercury Ltd., 62 High Street, Stamford, 1951 [?] Pp. 62.) To borrow from the imagery of Lanier's "Marshes of Glynn," the farms and the wolds and the fens of agriculturally rich Lincolnshire publish them- selves to the sky and offer themselves to the sea along England's eastern mid- riff from the Wash to the Humber, an administrative expanse broader in area and more fertile of soil than our own seaboard Delaware. Lincolnshire is the second largest English county, yet its total population does not reach three quarters of a million inhabitants. The most populous city, a newcomer on the scroll of the centuries, is the prime fishing port of Grimsby, home of a hundred thousand persons. At the back of the county, away from the sea, presided over as it were by a famous cathedral, stands ancient, resolute Lincoln, now ap- proaching seventy thousand people. Among lesser boroughs are such places as Grantham and Boston, the latter more picturesque than presumptious. Lincolnshire is divided governmentally into the Parts of Lindsey, the Parts of Kesteven, and the Parts of Holland, each with its own county council and its own tradition, not at all times enviable, of local record keeping.

  • LINCOLNSHIRE (Parts of LINDSEY)
    LINCOLNSHIRE (Parts of LINDSEY) Lindsey is the largest of the three traditional divisions of Lincolnshire, and it is bordered to the south by the Parts of Holland and the Parts of Kesteven. To the west it is bordered by Nottinghamshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire, and to the north by the East Riding (across the River Humber). To the east lies the North Sea. The Parts of Lindsey contained seventeen wapentakes, arranged in two subdivisions for administrative purposes. The Kirton subdivision comprised the north-western parts and the Louth and Spilsby subdivision the southern parts. A county police force for the whole of Lincolnshire was set up in 1857, and took over responsibility for the weights and measures. In Lindsey there were eight police districts, based on the petty sessional divisions. After the introduction of the uniform numbering system in 1879, Lindsey used nine numbers, one of the districts being split. The city of Lincoln was one of the greatest cities in England, and a county in itself. There was also separate jurisdiction in the ancient boroughs of Grimsby and Louth, which continued in the twentieth century. There were two anomalous manorial jurisdictions, Alford and the ‘Bail of Lincoln’, both of which had standards and functioned briefly in the nineteenth century. The major industries were agriculture and fishing. Many of the market towns, including Alford, Brigg, Gainsborough, Horncastle, Market Rasen, and Spilsby had ironmongers who sold all kinds of agricultural machinery, including scales and weights. In Lincoln there were quite large firms, such as Revill’s, founded in 1780.
