Description: | WYKES MANOR HOUSE. {1} THE MANOR AT DONINGTON WYKES WAS PROBABLY ALREADY WELL-ESTABLISHED BY THE TIME A FREE MANORIAL CHAPEL WAS FOUNDED, APPARENTLY IN THE REIGN OF RICHARD I. BY 1280 THE MANOR WAS IN THE OWNERSHIP OF THE EARL OF RICHMOND: A SURVEY OF THIS DATE IS CONCERNED PRIMARILY WITH THE ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF THE FARM BUT IT SHOWS A FLOURISHING ESTATE. THE SURVIVING MANORIAL RECORDS FOR DONINGTON WYKES DATE FROM THE MID C16; THE PRESENT HOUSE PROBABLY DATES FROM THE C17. A RESISTIVITY SURVEY IN JULY 1988 OF THE AREA IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF WYKES MANOR FARM INDICATED PROBABLE REMAINS OF COLLAPSED STONE BUILDINGS AND BOUNDARIES OR THEIR FOUNDATIONS, LYING JUST BELOW THE TURF. {2}~ | Subjects: | General Archaeology Building | Temporal: | 1066 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
