Deeping St Nicholas is also a South Holland civil parish[2][3] which includes the small settlements of Tongue End and Hop Pole, and a number of outlying farms.

The goods shed there was used for agricultural produce, including transshipment from the narrow gauge potato railway that also crossed the road.

In 1853 the chapelry was disbanded and the (ecclesiastical) parish became fully operational when the first resident incumbent perpetual curate, Revd.

In 1849, according to the 1849 Clergy List, there was a curate, Reverend Charles B Reid but where he lived is uncertain as the newly-built vicarage was not completed until 1853.
