Full Description
THE SITE OF A LARGE BRICK HOUSE, ALLEGEDLY THE C16 MANOR HOUSE WAS EXCAVATED IN 1919-1920. {1}
POSSIBLY MENTIONED (AND SKETCHED) IN AN UNDATED POSTCARD FROM J G DIXON RETAINED IN THE PARISH FILE. THE DATE OF THE BUILDING SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN BASED UPON THE SIZE OF THE BRICKS. THE SKETCH SHOWS A BUILDING ALIGNED NORTH- SOUTH AND MEASURING 66 FFET BY 40 FEET WITH FOUNDATIONS OF THE OUTSIDE WALLS 2 FEET WIDE, INTERNAL WALLS 1 FOOT 6 INCHES WIDE. {3}
The plan of the Tudor House was excavated in 1919-20 by Rev. T.G. Dixon and John Smith after discovery when the pasture was ploughed. Brick mullions for windows and a very flat roof tiles were found, a few oyster and cockle shells also. There were some bases for a screen in the hall, and the square 8 feet by 9 feet was suggested to have been a staircase. The house faced east and is on rising ground. There is a spring close by to the NW. Nicholas Bastoe acquired the Manor of Holton le Moor by mortgage from Ascough of South Kelsey c.1560. He was a merchant tailor of London. His son was fines for joining the King's army in the 1640s and the family moved to Boston. No one is known to have lived in it between 1660 and 1740, and it was probably delapidated and was demolished. {4}
