Description: | This side of the range was also faced with brick by William Hickman. At the same time the south end was turned from a two into a three story building and stone mullioned windows inserted.Underneath the windows to the left of the picture, there are several small alcoves. These are called bee boles and were built to house the wicker bee skeps. This also points to this side of the house being laid out as vegetable or possible pleasure gardens.The date of the two bay windows on this side is unclear. They were rebuilt in the nineteenth century. It is possible that they were added in the first half of the seventeenth century. It is believed that the chimneystack is of an early date, suggesting that there was always a fireplace in both the ground and first floor rooms. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
