Etymology


The word Kesteven is supposed to have derived from two root words: the Celtic ced meaning wood (compare Modern Welsh coed) and the Old Norse stefna, a meeting place. The earliest record of the place name is from about 1000 AD (in the Pipe Rolls of Lincolnshire) and was spelt Ceostefne, developing into Ketstevene by 1194.[1]



Administrative areas



Local Government Act 1888


The three parts were given separate elected county councils in 1889 by the Local Government Act 1888, and recognised as administrative counties.[2] These separate county councils were abolished in 1974 and Lincolnshire (minus the northern part of Lindsey) had a single county council for the first time, although the name survives in the districts of North Kesteven and South Kesteven. Kesteven lies in the south-west of Lincolnshire. It includes the towns of:



  • Bourne

  • Bracebridge

  • Grantham

  • Market Deeping

  • Sleaford

  • Stamford


Kesteven was historically divided into the wapentakes of Aswardhurn, Aveland, Beltisloe, Boothby Graffoe, Flaxwell, Langoe, Loveden, Ness, and Winnibriggs and Threo. Grantham and Stamford were administered separately.



Local Government Act 1894


Under the Local Government Act 1894 Kesteven was divided into a number of rural district and urban districts based on earlier sanitary districts:[3]



  • Bourne Rural District

  • Branston Rural District

  • Grantham Rural District

  • Claypole Rural District

  • Sleaford Rural District

  • Uffington Rural District


The urban districts and boroughs were:



  • Bourne

  • Bracebridge


  • Grantham (borough)

  • Ruskington

  • Sleaford


  • Stamford (borough)


Bourne Urban District was abolished in 1920, with Bourne becoming a parish in Bourne Rural District. Bracebridge became part of the county borough of Lincoln that same year, becoming associated with the Parts of Lindsey.



Local Government Act 1929


The rural districts were re-organised by a County Review Order in 1929, to create four new districts named after points of the compass:[4]



  • East Kesteven Rural District

  • North Kesteven Rural District

  • South Kesteven Rural District

  • West Kesteven Rural District



Local Government Act 1972


Most recently, in 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, the four rural districts, along with the boroughs and urban district, merged into two district councils:[5]




  • North Kesteven District Council - A merger of North and East Rural Districts and Sleaford Urban District


  • South Kesteven District Council - A merger of South and West Rural Districts and the boroughs of Grantham and Stamford

Coat of arms


Kesteven County Council received a grant of arms in 1950. The Lincoln green shield bears an ermine pale, representing the Roman Ermine Street which runs the length of the county. This is charged with an oak tree for the ancient forests, among them Kesteven Forest.


The crest shows a heron with a pike in its beak. The dexter supporter is a Roman legionary which recalls the Roman settlements of the county. The sinister supporter is a poacher, recalling the song "The Lincolnshire Poacher", an unofficial anthem of Lincolnshire.[9][10]



Barony


The barony Baron Kesteven existed from 1868 until 1915. Former Prime Minister (and Kesteven native) Margaret Thatcher took 'of Kesteven' as the territorial designation for her peerage.[11]
