  • Enclosure & Agricultural Improvement in North-West Lincolnshire from Circa 1600 to 1850

    Enclosure & Agricultural Improvement in North-West Lincolnshire from Circa 1600 to 1850

    ENCLOSURE & AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT IN NORTH-WEST LINCOLNSHIRE FROM CIRCA 1600 TO 1850. Thomas M. Smith, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2012 i Abstract This study sets out to establish the link between enclosure and agricultural improvement in a group of parishes in north-west Lindsey, Lincolnshire between the sixteenth century and the mid-nineteenth century. In particular it emphasises the continuity of enclosure history through time, rather than concentrating only on the period of parliamentary enclosure as has often been the case in the past, and on links to agricultural improvement which include land reclamation, draining and warping. It shows that a simple explanation of enclosure in terms of driving up rents and allowing individual farmers to take their own farming decisions, fails to take into account the particular local circumstances of this area. Using a combination of enclosure documents and related material such as glebe terriers, land tax assessments, census materials, the 1801 agricultural returns and estate papers it sets out to show how agricultural improvement transformed both the landscape and the farming techniques in this area. In this process it covers a range of related topics including landownership, population, and the socio-economic structure of the villages of north-west Lindsey. It shows clearly that in this area enclosure is as much as anything associated with land drainage, and with improvements brought about by warping. These processes were interwoven, and separating enclosure out as a single movement underestimates the complexity of the farming arrangements required to ensure the most productive farming in this area.

    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.
