Wigtoft
Wigtoft is a village in
Lincolnshire,
England, around 8 miles south-west of
Boston, Lincolnshire. It is on the
A17 road, and near to
Sutterton and
Hoffleet Stow.
It 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

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.
