SPALDING.
SP ALDING is a seaport, market and union town and
parish, with a station on the East Lincolnshire branch of
the Great Northern railway, 14 miles south from Boston,
45 south-east from Lincoln, 17 north from Peterborough,
20 east from Stamford, xo east from Bourne and 93 from
London, and is head CJf a county court district, in the
Holland division of the county, wapentake and petty sessional division of Elloe, parts of Holland, rural deanery
of West Elloe, and archdea.conry and diocese of Lincoln.
Spalding is a member of the port of Boston, and is the
port for Stamford, Market Deeping and Crowland, having water communicatiOn with the whole county. The
river Welland runs through the town, dividing it into
two portions, the larger of which is on the north bank.:
it is navigable fur vessels of 120 tons, by which means a
trade in coal, oil-cake and timber is carried on: the
course of the river, extending in a comparatively straight
line for 2 miles, constitutes the remains of highest
antiquity about Spalding, for the embankments on each
~ide of the arm of the !«la or Wash, beginning from the
Marsh Rails, are undoubtedly the work of the Romans.
The Great Northern railway has branch lines from here
to Peterboro', Bourne and Stamford, Holbeach and Lynn,
and also to March, the East Lincolnshire line giving
access to Boston, Louth, Grimsby and Hull. The Great
Eastern and Great Northern joint line hence to Doncaster, passes through Sleaford, Lincoln and Gainsborough, giving direct communication between the
Eastern Counties :md the north. A branch line of the
Midland a.nd Great Northern joint railways from Bourne
to Spalding, constructed in r8g3, connects the existing
lines with the Eastern counties, including the ports of
Lynn and Sutt.on Bridg-e, thus opening- up direct communication with the Midlands. The High Bri~e over
the Welland was rebuilt in 1838; there are five other
bridges, but for foot passengers only.
The town is not incorporated, but was under the control of a boa.rd of Commissioners under the " Spalding
Improvement Act of r853." but under the provisions of
the "Local Government Act, r8g4" (56 and 57 Vict. c.
73), it is now governed by an Urban District Council of
15 members, and divided into five wards. An Act was
passed in the year xB6o for supplying the town with
water, which is conducted in pipes from Bourne; the
works are close to the town, on the road to Pinchbeck;
the capital is £ I3,ooo, raised in shares of £10 each_
The town is lighted with gas from works the property
of the Urban District Counc1L

SPILS:BY is a small market town on the ro!ld from
Boston to Louth, in a pleas'<lnt position on an acclivity
overlooking a vast tract of mal'sh a.nd fen land, extending
c;outhward to the Boston Deeps, with a terminal station
on a branch of the Great Northern railway, and is 17
miles north-east from Boston, 10 east-south-east from
Horncastle, 16 south-by-east from Louth, 8 south-west
from Alford, 9 north-wes-t from \Vainfleet and 126 from
London, and is the head of a union and county court
district and petty sessional division, in the South Lindsey
divi!f.ion of the county, parts of Lindsey, east division of
Uolingbroke sake, rural deanery of Hill No. 2, and archdeaconry and diocese of Lincoln. The Spilsby and Firsby
branch of the East Lincolnshire Railway Company was
opened in x868. The town is well built and consi>ts
chiefly of two streets and the Market place, which is interseated in the centre by a row of houses. H i·s lighted with
gas from works in the Ashby road, erected in 1854, and
belonging to a compa.ny.
The church of St. James is an edifice of green sand~tone
and brick, chiefly in the Decorated and Perpendicular styles,
consisting of chancel, double nave with clerestory, north
aisle, north or Willoughby chapel and an embattled Perpendicular western tower with pinnacles and containing a
clock and 6 bells: the earliest portions of the structure are
the nave arcades, dating apparently from the early part of
the qth century, to which period the arcade opening into
the chapel seems also to belong : about the middle of the
same century the south aisle was removed, and a large
tiecondary nave erected, of which the eastern portion constitutes the present chancel, the remainder forming about
half of the existing nave : in the qth century there was a
chapel here dedicated to the Holy Trinity, of which the
arcade of the Willoughby chapel is supposed to be a
fra.gment: the church contains a very interesting series
of monuments commemorating several of the most distinguished members of the house of Wi!loughby including:
r . .An altar-tomb of stone, adorned with shafts originally
supporting a canopy ; on the upper sh! b lie the effigies
nf John, 2nd Baron 'Villonghby de Eresby, and Joan
(Ro&eline), his wife; the figure of the former is in armour
with shield and sword, and ha.!! the legs crossed; the lady
wears a coverchief and a flowing mantle over a close fitting
dress; Lord Willoughby was knighted in 1326-7, and took
part in the Scottish and Flemish wars, including the relief
of Aiguillon, I345-6 and the battle of Cr~y. August 26f:h,

infant; above this is an erect effigy of her father, the
famous Peregrine, wth Lord Willoughby, ob. 16ox, in a
suit of half armour, full skirt and hose: in the pavement of
the church are several grey slabs,deprived of their brasses:
the interior was reseated in I851, and in I879 the south
aisle was entirely bui:t and extended westwards, and now
forms the nave proper, the east end constituting bhe
chancel: an additional ais!e was also erected on the sout1&
side, and the rest of the fabric thoroughly restored: these
works were carried out under the direction of Mr. W.
Bassett Smith, architect, of London, at a cost of £4,505,
to which the late Baroness Willoughby de Eresby contributed £ 1,ooo: the stained east window was given by
the represenW.tive.s of the late Prebendary Hollway, thirty

RuSISell, in memory of the Rev. lsaac Russell, master of
Spilsby Grammar School, and the Rev. J. Russell, rector
of Holland Fen, and there are other stained windows.
The Willoughby monuments were carefully restored by
William Forsyth, of London, in 1879, by the order of the
la.te Baroness Willoughby, at a cost of £250: the church
was reopened by the Bishop of Lincoln and the B~shop
Suffrogan of Nottingham, July 25th, 1879: a handsome
