Wold Newton, Lincolnshire history
Origins
The name ‘Wold Newton’ dates the village to about the 8th century. It is assumed that today’s settlement began as a new Anglo Saxon farm in an otherwise largely Danish landscape.
Archaeology
The most significant archaeological discovery in Wold Newton was the discovery of Anglo Saxon urns in the field, Swinhope Walk, in 1828 by road workers quarrying gravel. The site was subsequently excavated by the Rev. Dr. Oliver, Vicar of Scopwick, Lincoln.
Turnpike
The Grimsby to Wold Newton Turnpike Act was passed in 1765. Until the advent of the turnpike trust system, local villagers were responsible for the upkeep of the roads in their parish. Turnpikes trust could borrow money to pay for road improvements and charge people for using it.
Water
Wold Newton sits in a dry valley of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The nearest running water is 2.5 miles away in the beck which flows through Swinhope and Thorganby. A borehole was sunk for general village supply in 1910 and powered by a John Wallis Titt wind pump. Mains water only arrived in the village in the 1970s.
Land ownership
Earls of Yarborough owned Wold Newton from the late 18th century until the end of the 19th century. The Yarboroughs had acquired the estate from the Welfitt family, who had held it during the 17th and 18th centuries but had to relinquish it after having mortgaged it too heavily.
