Title: Tetney, Lincolnshire. A History. Rev J. Wild  
Summary: Tetney, Lincolnshire: A History (1901) by Rev. John Wild is a detailed local history of the village of Tetney, written after Wild had served as its vicar for about thirty years. The book examines the village's development from ancient times to the end of the nineteenth century. 
Main themes of the book
Ancient origins and archaeology. Wild discusses the earliest evidence of settlement, including prehistoric remains, Roman influences, and the old sea banks that protected and shaped the marshland landscape around Tetney. 
The Domesday Book and medieval Tetney. He traces ownership of the manor, landholding patterns, and the village's importance in medieval Lincolnshire, using documentary records such as the Domesday Survey. 
The parish church. A substantial part of the work is devoted to the history of the parish church of St Peter and St Paul Church, its architecture, clergy, monuments, and parish life. 
Village institutions and customs. The book records local fairs, schools, charities, societies, farming practices, and traditions that were important to community life in the nineteenth century. 
Families and local people. Wild preserves information about prominent local families, landowners, clergy, and benefactors whose activities shaped the village's history. 
Landscape and marshland reclamation. A recurring theme is how drainage, embankments, and agricultural improvement transformed the surrounding marshes into productive farmland. 
Historical significance
The book is valuable because it records local traditions, documents, inscriptions, and memories that might otherwise have been lost. Much of Wild's research drew on parish records and local knowledge available to him around 1900, making the work an important source for genealogists and historians of north-east Lincolnshire.
