Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

The County of Lincolnshire was divided into eight coroners' districts by the Lincolnshire (Coroners' Districts) Order 1974. Two of these, Boston and Spalding, were amalgamated to form the Boston and Spalding Coroner’s District by the Lincolnshire (Coroners' Districts) (Amendment) Order 1984.

This Order replaces the three coroners' districts of Lincoln, Grantham and Sleaford and (as a result of the Secretary of State’s modification) part of the Louth coroner’s district with the new coroner’s district of West Lincolnshire (as set out in the Schedule to this Order). The Schedule also sets out the remaining four of the coroners' districts into which the County of Lincolnshire is now divided.
