This house dates to the early 18th century although the street front was altered in the mid 18th century. The street front is of ashlar but the side walls are of stone, brick and timber frame. At the rear is a late 18th century timber framed passageway and stair turret. The interior includes mid 18th century panelled rooms and a mid 18th century staircase. The house was owned by William Lindsey, a carpenter, during the mid 18th century and he was presumably responsible for the alterations and refitting at this time. {2}
This house is a 'grand essay in miniature'. {3} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1700 - 2050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
