Politics and Governance

• This place was an ancient parish in Lincolnshire and became a modern Civil Parish when those were established.
  
  
• The parish was in the Marsh division of the ancient Calceworth Wapentake in the East Lindsey district in the parts of Lindsey.
  
  
• In 1841 the parish consisted of one farm, one church and eight inhabitants. It was termed extra parochial because there could be no meeting of parishioners, no officers, etc.
  
  
• White's 1900 Directory of Lincolnshire places the parish, perhaps erroneously, in the South Lindsey division of the county.
  
  
• For today's district governance, see the East Lindsey District Council.
