  • Census Urban Areas 2001, Built up Areas 2011
    Census Urban Areas 2001, Built Up Areas 2011 16/10/2013 Urban areas are a geography produced for the 2001 Census which describe areas with land use which irreversibly urban in character. This comprises permanent structures and the land on which they are situated. The pre requisite for the recognition of urban land is that the area of urban land should extend for 20 hectares or more and separate areas of urban land are linked if they are less than 200m apart. For the urban areas to be included in the 2001 Census, urban areas require a minimum population of 1,500 residents in the Output Areas (OA) – the smallest building blocks for which 2001 Census data are released - which best fit to the urban areas. Areas of urban land which are at least 20 hectares but do not meet this population threshold are not treated as urban areas in Census output, but as a settlement with fewer than 1,500 people. For the 2011 Census a direct replacement was produced for the urban areas, but this time titled built up areas. This product was released in July 2013. The key methodology for what the Built Up Areas represent (over 20ha in size, 200 metre gap) is essentially the same as the 2001 Census, though in 2011 a more sophisticated automated approach was used to capture these areas. The result was very consistent with the 2001 dataset: 2011 BUA 2001 Urban Area Source: 2011 Built -up Areas – Methodology and guidance, Office for National Statistics, 2013 The current number of BUA's in Lincolnshire is 243, an increase of 108 on 2001's 135 areas.

  • 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.
