The lands composing these parishes were chiefly those sold by the
commissioners appointed under the act for draining and enclosing Wildmore
Fen; Langriville also contains the portion allotted to the Earl of
Stamford and Warrington, in lieu of his manorial rights over Armtree and
Wildmore. In 1812, an act of parliament was passed rendering these
lands, with others, parochial, and approximating these two parishes to
the soke of Horncastle.
