Description: | Dalderby's quaintest possession was unfortunately burnt down some years ago. It was a one-roomed cottage with a thatched roof reaching to the ground; with a jutting window for a handle and a chimney for a spout, it was known for many miles around as Teapot Hall. Unfortunately, this curiosity was set on fire during victory celebrations in 1945.{1}
The house was inhabited until the 1920s and ruinous in the 1930s.{2}
There is a suggestion {3} that it was one of a pair forming lodges to Scrivelsby Court, but this is contested. The earliest photograph is dated 1898. {4}
Some pictures show additional small building(s) at rear {5} but these may be outhouses. It was evidently already far gone when burnt down in June 1945, but the 'Architect's Journal' in May 1945 was pressing for its repair. | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1750 - 1945 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
