Holland, Lincolnshire

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The Parts of Holland was an area in south-east Lincolnshire, England. It was one of the three medieval subdivisions or 'parts' of Lincolnshire (the other two were Lindsey and Kesteven) which had their own county councils from 1888 until 1974. At that point they were abolished and Lincolnshire (minus the northern part of Lindsey) had a single county council for the first time.

Before the changes of 1888, Holland had, since probably the tenth century, been divided into three wapentakes of Elloe, Kirton and Skirbeck.
