West Riding of Lindsey

The West Riding of Lindsey was a division of the Lindsey part of Lincolnshire in England. It consisted of the north-western part of the county, and included the Isle of Axholme and the Aslacoe, Corringham, Manley, Lawress and Well wapentakes.

The meeting place of the riding was Spital-in-the-Street.[1] At the time of the Domesday Book, the riding also contained Lincoln, although in 1409 the city became a county corporate. Other important towns included Gainsborough.
