Frieston

Frieston

*

"Not to be confused with: Freiston in the same county (Parts of Holland).

Frieston forms the southern end of the village of Caythorpe in the parish of Caythorpe in the administrative district of South Kesteven in the county of Lincolnshire, England. The local government has been arranged in this way since the reorganization of April 1 1974, which resulted from the Local Government Act 1972.

Hitherto, the parish had formed part of the Parts of Kesteven. Kesteven was one of the three divisions (formally known as "parts") of the traditional county of Lincolnshire. Since the Local Government Act of 1888, Kesteven had been in most respects, a county in itself.

This seems to be an example of the migration of a village. "Frieston" is a name which belongs to the fifth century settlement of Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers, in this area mainly Angles, but in this case Frisians. The "thorpe" element of Caythorpe indicates a secondary settlement by Vikings, in this case probably Danes, at some time between 800 and 1050.
