Description: | THE PRIORY WAS DISSOLVED IN 1538 AND IN 1539 ITS SITE AND LANDS WERE GRANTED TO SIR THOMAS HENEAGE. A SUBSTANTIAL POST-DISSOLUTION HOUSE MUST HAVE EXISTED ON THE SITE, SINCE THE THIRD AND FOURTH SONS OF SIR THOMAS HENEAGE WERE BORN AT SIXHILLS GRANGE IN 1594 AND 1599 AND THE PLACE FIGURES IN THE LATE C17 AND EARLY C18 HENEAGE SETTLEMENTS AND LEASES. IN ADDITION THERE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A SMALL HAMLET THERE IN THE LATE C16 AND C17; IN 1563 THE DIOCESIAN SURVEY RECORDS TWO HOUSEHOLDS ON THE SITE. THE PRESENT HOUSE, THE GRANGE, THOUGH SAID TO BE OF C16 OR C17 DATE POSSIBLY INCORPORATING PART OF A MEDIEVAL STRUCTURE, CARRIES TWO DATE STONES OF 1747. {1} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1540 - 1900 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
