County
Lincolnshire
38 places in the corpus · 4,459 dated entries · 1235–1484.
Places are grouped by historic county. The county of each place is taken from the printed indexes (which qualify a place as “co. Norfolk”) and the gazetteer, then normalised to the traditional shire.
Shaded: the historic county of Lincolnshire. Source: Historic County Borders Project (county-borders.co.uk), traditional counties. A proxy for the medieval shire, not a medieval reconstruction.
