Daniel Disney married the heiress of the Fines family, inheriting the Lordship of Kirkstead, Lincolnshire.
Kirkstead Wharfs was absorbed by the encroaching civil parish of Woodhall Spa in 1894, and the rest was incorporated into it in 1987, so that Kirkstead is now the western part of Woodhall Spa between the village centre and the River Witham.
