Description: | Here was once a small priory which stood at a little distance nearly west of the church. A farmhouse is built out of the ruins on the site and that is now occupied by Mr Grummit. There is a very fine large arch in the wall of a dovecote standing against the gateway. Into a hole in this gateway the Crier used formerly to put his finger when he cried stray cattle. The whole has been moated around.{1}{2}
There is no other documentary reference to a priory at Haconby other than Marratt who is somewhat unreliable at times. This priory must be considered spurious.{3} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1900 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
