OR THE DIVISION OF KESTEVEN. Kesteven, called by Ethelward Ceostefne Silea, situated in the southern part of Lincolnshire, is bounded on the north east by the Witham, which separates it form Lindsey; on the east by the division of Holland; on the south by tins Welland, which separates it from Northamptonshire: and on the west by parts of Nottingham, Rutland, and Leicestershire, The Wapentakes, in this Division, are ten, vh. Aswardhurnl Aveland: Bettisloe; Boothby, high and low divisions: Flaxwell; Granthamx Langoe, first and second divisions; Lovedon; Ness; and Whinibrigs and Threo. These wapentakes contain seven market towns, and 181 parishes. Kesteven, being.diversified with hills and valleys, with woods and rivers, and excellent springs of water; the soil also in many parts being rich, it may be prenounced to be a most delightful situation;--here bounteous nature spreads her abundant stores, and here the beauteous landskip charms the senses;--amid a vast varity of objects, the delighted eye swims inextacy, while the soul melts into gratitude on contemplating such scenes --gratitude to the Divine Being whose wisdom shines in his works, and whose parental care and goodness may be traced in the ornaments of UisCreation. The south eastern part of this division was former!}' a forest, aud the eastern a fen, Dugdule *ays (Vide pa, 194 Hilt, of Imhanking Sfc.) "Of what extent the forest, was in these parts of the province, and possessed by Leofrike, Earl of Mercia, I am not able to say: but it appears, that King Henry I. for the pleasure of hunting, doing much hurt to the commonwealth, by enlarging of forests (as his brother King William.

Download or read book A History of Lincoln written by Richard Gurnham and published by History Press. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earliest settlement beside the Brayford Pool was called Lindon, and this Celtic name was adopted by the Roman conquerors in the first century ad. e fortress established on the hill above the river Witham was later transformed into a provincial capital of the Roman Empire, complete with a forum, basilica and ne houses, and the mighty walls and gates built then would still be standing many hundreds of years later. After the Empire collapsed the city survived as the capital of a minor British realm which later developed into the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Lindsey. Prosperity and growth returned with the arrival of the Vikings in the ninth century, and the great cathedral begun by the Normans, the Conqueror's castle and fine Norman town houses are the jewels in the crown of Lincoln's modern tourist industry. Throughout the 12th and 13th centuries the city thrived as a major centre for the wool and cloth trades, but even before the Black Death struck in 1349 it was beginning to decline, and Lincoln would remain a sad and decayed echo of its former self until the last years of the 17th century, much damaged following its use as a garrison town in the Civil Wars. Rapid growth, however, came only in the 19th century when this rather sleepy, ancient cathedral city transformeditself - almost literally 'overnight' - into a centre for heavy engineering and, in the First World War, the home of the tank.Today this dual legacy of ancient and modern persists. e Siemens engineering works beside the Pelham Bridge is the last indicator of the city's former engineering greatness, but Lincoln's older heritage is better preserved than ever before, and a new university has been established beside the Brayford Pool, where it all began. First published in 2009, this fully illustrated book tells the story of the city's many transformations over two thousand years and, through a wealth of detail, brings to life the events and challenges faced by many generations who have lived and worked in this rather beautiful 'place by the pool'.
Download or read book Boston Lincolnshire written by John Minnis and published by English Heritage. This book was released on 2015-11-15 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the history of Boston in Lincolnshire as reflected in its buildings and townscape from medieval times to the present day. Boston has a position as an important market from medieval times and as a major port with links with Europe and America. The homes and warehouses of its citizens show the evidence of this. Boston’s religious and public buildings are discussed, and its physical expansion throughout the 19th and into the 20th century are examined. Other important influences on the town’s development include fen drainage, the role of agriculture and manufacturing, and transport links. Bringing the story up to date, problems created by the town’s remoteness from large centres of population, a low-wage agricultural economy and the impact of 1970s redevelopment are discussed, where they have affected the physical appearance of the town. A final chapter looks at how successful regeneration projects have been in Boston and how these can be built upon to promote a more prosperous future for the town that recognises the important role heritage can play in achieving it.
Download or read book Britons and Anglo Saxons written by Thomas Green and published by History of Lincolnshire Com. This book was released on 2012 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britons and Anglo-Saxons offers an interdisciplinary approach to the history of the Lincoln region in the post-Roman period, drawing together a wide range of sources. In particular, it indicates that a British polity named *Lindēs was based at Lincoln into the sixth century, and that the seventh-century Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Lindsey (Lindissi) had an intimate connection to this British political unit. The picture that emerges is also of importance nationally, helping to answer key questions regarding the nature and extent of Anglian-British interaction and the origins of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
