Description: | PRN 12616
The Village of Moulton, originally Multon is said to have been founded in 1100 by Thomas de Multon, the first Baron, whose family has a moated mansion in hall grounds, which they occupied until 1313. The college of St Mary Magdalene, Oxford held the manor of Multon Hall in Kirton and Framton in 1539. {1}{2}{3} see revised 25inch survey of moat.
This now forms part of a major Fen drainage system. There are no visible remains of the hall. {1}
Large mounds and traces of moats are still clearly visible and a general scatter of rubble on the mound was found, including bricks, tiles, stone and stone slates, bones and pottery, mostly green glazed wares including pancheon rims and bases, thumbed base of a jug, jug handles, two shell-gritted sherds, one coarse cooking pot glazed inside with applied thumb strip, four dish rims of smooth ware (Bourne ware?) one green glazed pipkin handle, two badly weathered sherds with pink body and bright green glaze with wavy line decoration, four German stoneware sherds and a fragment of thin yellow glazed tile. {4}
The moated site, known as Multon Hall, is scheduled and is situated on flat, low-lying ground with the moated complex covering an area measuring 230m by 200m. Multon, or Moulton, is though to have been established by Thomas de Multon in 1100. Documentary evidence shows that the Multon family had a moated manor house which they occupied until 1313. The college of St Mary Magdalene, Oxford, held the manor of Multon in Kirton and Frampton in 1539 and for the following three centuries. {5} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
