Kirton, Lincolnshire
Kirton, or
Kirton in Holland is a village in
Lincolnshire,
England. It is on the

Boston, near
Frampton and
Sutterton.
Kirton is one of eighteen
parishes which, together with
Boston, form the
Borough of Boston in the
county of
Lincolnshire,
England. The local government has been arranged in this way since the reorganization of

Local Government Act 1972. This parish forms an electoral ward in itself.
Hitherto, the parish had formed part of
Boston Rural District, in the
Parts of Holland. Holland was one of the three divisions (formally known as
parts) of the traditional county of Lincolnshire. Since the
Local Government Act of
1888, Holland had been in most respects, a county in itself.
