The third set of elections to Kesteven County Council were held on Thursday, 7 March 1895. Kesteven was one of three divisions of the historic county of Lincolnshire in England; it consisted of the ancient wapentakes (or hundreds) of Aswardhurn, Aveland, Beltisloe, Boothby Graffoe, Flaxwell, Langoe, Loveden, Ness, and Winnibriggs and Threo. [1] The Local Government Act 1888 established Kesteven as an administrative county, governed by a Council; [2] elections were held every three years from 1889, until it was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972, which established Lincolnshire County Council in its place.

Forty-six electoral divisions of the new Council were outlined in December 1888. [5] For the 1892 election, Sleaford and Bourne, which were initially two member divisions, were split, [6] the former into Sleaford East and Sleaford West, the latter into Bourne and Morton. [7] Nearly every candidate was returned unopposed, with contests in only eight divisions. Of these, six involved political parties; the Liberals won four and the Conservatives two.
