| | History of Whitton Lincolnshire |
 | | Opposite Whitton, there, is in the Humber, a bed of silt, called Whitton sands, more than a mile broad, and two miles in length, which is left bare at low water, and upon which steamers and other vessels are often left aground until the return of the tide, and in stormy weather sometimes wrecked. |
| | In Whitton much of the wheat and barley in the fields could not be harvested, because, in the damp, the grain sprouted on the stalk, and was ruined. |
| | Whitton however, perhaps thinking that the 'bobby' on his bike at Winterton was a long way away, continued to nominate, rather than elect these officials, as it had done for centuries - records of such elections, by the Vestry Meeting, exist from 1609. |
