As an interesting aside to the opening of pits and quarries the executors of the Vicar of St Marys Binbrook were hauled off to court in 1818 for allowing 4 acres of land to be excavated for road metal, "to wit, divers large holes, pits and excavations, to wit 100 holes of great width for sand and gravel."
Even back then the major gripe was that reinstatement and making good was non existent.
Today the diocese of Lincoln still has 12000 acres of glebeland, mainly arable farmland.
