Full Description

PRN 46988 One of a number of farmsteads built for Christopher Turnor of Stoke Rochford Hall, who inherited about 20,000 acres in Lincolnshire in 1829 and controlled the estate until his death in 1886. About twenty farmsteads were rebuilt either in whole or in part between 1847 and 1870 on recently enclsoed land, with the finest examples dating from the 1860s. As was so often the case they were not designed by an architect but by Turnor's agent, Mr J.Young Macvicar.{1}
