There are records of Land Tax Assessments from about 1780 up until about 1832. The returns are by township, which is a subdivision of a civil parish (not always the same as an ecclesiastical parish), which are collected together in hundreds or wapentakes which in turn are divisions of a county. These records are usually in the CRO. The Mormon Church has filmed some of these records but unfortunately not Lincolnshire. In most cases you will not be able to identify the land but can get some idea of size by the relative size of the assessment.
The local CRO should also have records of enclosure maps and tithe maps, the latter being up to 1854.
Records of deeds were not kept in a registry until 1862. The CRO indexes are being put on-line and can be searched through Access to Archives.
