A building survey was carried out which revealed seven phases of construction and development. The earliest part of the house is the east range which dates possibly to the 15th century, based on its style (dendrochronological dating would enable a more exact date to be given for this section). This part of the house was originally of mud and stud construction and elements of this remain at first floor level and potentially elsewhere. During the first half of the 17th century (again, dendrochronological dating would allow a more exact date to be given for this phase) a new stone range was built, and the original building became a service range. Both sections of the house were originally roofed with thatch and parts of this remain beneath the current pantile roof. During the early 18th century many fine internal features including wooden panelling and the main staircase were added, and the windows of the west façade were altered. Parts of the original building were encased in in brick during the 18th century, and a two storey extension was added to the north side of the main house. A further extension, to the south, was added in the early 19th century. During the later 19th century the house was divided into three separate dwellings. The house continued in occupation into the second half of the 20th century although no substantial alterations or additions were made during this period. At the beginning of the 19th century the house appears to have been part of the estate of Lord Willoughby de Broke, although its history prior to this point is unclear. At some point in the mid to late 19th century it appears to have been purchased by the Barnes family. {3} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1400 - 1699 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
