The auction brief says this Manor was one of many in the area granted to Roger de Beuesli (spelling varies) by William the Conqueror circa 1086 following the Domesday Survey.

Descent then followed through a variety of owners include the de Lovetots, the Abbots of Newstead near Nottingham, the North family and eventually through the Dukes of Newcaste to the Duke of Portland.

Subsequently owned by a series of interesting characters, the Lordship is offered for sale by the present owner who wishes for someone else to have the privilege of the title.

Interested parties can make their own enquiries by calling the auction house on 01427 616436. The local authority in which the property resides is West Lindsey District Council.
