Beltisloe is a Deanery of the Diocese of Lincoln in England, and a former Wapentake. The Wapentake of Beltisloe, was an old administrative division of the English county of Lincolnshire.〔Allen.History of the County of Lincoln. p.277〕 In England a wapentake was the division of a shire for administrative, military and judicial purposes under the common law.〔Vision of Britain.〕 The term ''wapentake'' is of Scandinavian origin and meant the taking of weapons; it later signified the clash of arms by which the people assembled in a local court expressed assent. Danish influence was strong in those English counties where wapentakes existed.〔Encyclopaedia Britannica.〕 The Wapentake of Beltisloe was bounded on the north by Winnibriggs and Threo Wapentake; on the east by Aveland Wapentake; on the south by Ness Wapentake and Rutland and on the west by Grantham soke and Leicestershire.
