Belton, North Lincolnshire

Belton is a village and civil parish in the Isle of Axholme area of North Lincolnshire, England.

[1] Belton parish boundaries include the hamlets of Beltoft, Sandtoft, Churchtown, Bracon, Carrhouse, Mosswood, Grey Green and Westgate.

[5] Sandtoft was granted to the abbey of St Mary's York, c. 1150, by Roger de Mowbray, for the use of a single monk.

In the early 12th century the lands for the cell were granted by Nigel d'Albini to the Austin canons of Nostell Priory.

As well as use on farms, such lines were also used for peat extraction in this area, as on the nearby Thorne and Hatfield Moors, often using WW1 trench railway equipment.
