In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Great Beats like this:
Beats, Great and Little, pars., Lincolnshire, in Boston dist., pop. 8 and 12.
The location is that shown for Great Beats Farm on modern OS 1:25,000 maps, and also corresponds to the area shown for Great Beats in the Boston area enlargement on the 1888 Sanitary Districts Diagram for Lincolnshire.
