Retrieved 20 April 2012〕 Hitherto, the parish had formed part of Boston Rural District, in the Parts of Holland. Holland was one of the three divisions (formally known as ''parts'') of the historic county boundaries of Lincolnshire. Since the Local Government Act of 1888, Holland had been in most respects, a county in itself. In 1885 ''Kelly's Directory'' recorded the village as having a station on the Great Northern Railway. There existed Congregational and Wesleyan chapels and almshouses for four poor women. The village market was then disused. The Gas Consumers' Company Ltd was formed here in 1865. Principal landowners were The Mercers' Company, Sir Thomas Whichcote DL, E. R. C. Cust DL, the Very Rev. Arthur Percival Purey-Cust DD, and Samuel Smeeton, whose residence was the "modern white building" of D'Eyncourt Hall. Agricultural production within the parish consisted of wheat, beans and potatoes, and there was a "large quantity of pasture land" and of marsh land. The 1881 the ecclesiastical parish population was 2,011, the civil parish, 2,580.〔''Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire with the port of Hull'' 1885, pp. 504, 505〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kirton, Lincolnshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
