Talk:Holland, Lincolnshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Didn't Holland used to be called a riding of Lincolnshire (along with Kesteven and another one I can't remember right now.) Are they no longer called ridings? RickK 20:45, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC)

"riding of Lincolnshire" gets 2 hits on google, so i guess not. Morwen 20:48, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC)

See http://tiger.iso.port.ac.uk:7778/pls/nfp/gbhdb.gbh.tab_info?object_id=counties. It mentions "the three Ridings of Lincolnshire". RickK

[edit] Ridings of Lincolnshire

Hi, I know this discussion was a good while ago now, but just to say: no, Holland, Kesteven and Lindsey were the 3 Parts of Lincolnshire: it was Lindsey which was itself divided into 3 ridings - north, west and south. TheVenerableBede 12:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

So, was this named after the region of the Netherlands? 90.240.205.52 (talk) 09:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
