==History==
Before the Roman conquest the area was home to the Coritani; after Roman departure it became part of the Anglo Saxon kingdom of Mercia.〔("Algarkirk" ) Genuki.org.uk. Retrieved 25 April 2011〕 Algarkirk is called after Algar Earl of Mercia, who fell at Stow Green near Threekingham in 870 while resisting the Danes,〔Cox, J. Charles (1916); ''Lincolnshire'' pp.42, 43; ''Methuen & Co. Ltd.''〕 and is reputedly buried in the graveyard〔("Algarkirk" ) ''UK Genealogy Archives''. Retrieved 25 April 2011〕 of the parish church of St Peter and St Paul. The "kirk" element of the name comes from the Old English "circe" meaning church, which was later replaced by the Old Norse "kirk".
The 9th-century church itself is Early English and Norman with a double-aisle transept and a font of Purbeck marble. Under the tower are kneeling brass effigies of Nicholas Robertson (d. 1498), Merchant of the Staple of Calais, and his two wives Alice and Isabella. In 1492, he and Isabella glazed the church clerestorey.〔Hegbin-Barnes, Penny (1996); ''The medieval stained glass of the county of Lincolnshire'' p. 350 ''Oxford University Press'' ISBN 0-19-726156-6〕 The church was heavily restored in 1851.〔
Hitherto, the parish had formed part of Boston Rural District, in the Parts of Holland. Holland was one of the three divisions (formally known as ''parts'') of the traditional county of Lincolnshire. Since the Local Government Act of 1888, Holland had been, in most respects, a county in itself.
