Hello,
I discovered this morning that my 6th Gt Grandparents, William Spencer and Sarah are buried at Kirby Muxloe and have a Monumental Inscription.
William Spencer 1703 - 21st August 1773 from Sherman's Lodge
Sarah, his wife... 1710 - 14th Nov 1787
I would be very grateful if anyone could photograph this for me please.
I know Sherman's Lodge was replaced by Frith House and is now in Glenfield Hospital grounds. Does anyone know of any drawings that may have been made of the Lodge prior to Frith House being built?
Thank you very much for any help anyone can give me

Sherman's Lodge was replaced by Frith House in 1816 you might get something from Land registry, or what about Leicester Historic society.
Also found this https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=c2MRAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA347&lpg=PA347&dq=Sherman%27s+Lodge+leicester&source=bl&ots=7xl08M-xTP&sig=ofLTa1Fg_Sv5CKT5Mz_zb0Yrazk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjGw4qDn_fcAhVpL8AKHRXeD4oQ6AEwA3oECAcQAQ#v=onepage&q=Sherman's%20Lodge%20leicester&f=false

Hello Derek,
Thanks for making contact. Just discovered your post.
It's the original Sherman Lodge I'm interested in.
Although I haven't got documents connected with the house with the Spencer family name attached, I do have them referenced on graves and baptisms at the house. It says they were born and died at the Sherman Lodge.
I found a newspaper article saying that it was sold 15 Apr 1812. I'm guessing this is when my Spencer relatives sold it, but it's possible they rented it for decades.
The first mention are John Spencer and his wife Dorothy who died at Sherman Lodge 1732 and 1728 respectively. All their 8 children were born and died at Sherman Lodge. The last reference I have is a 6th Great Grandmother dying there in 1797.
I imagine there are tithe maps, but don't know whether they cover the 18th C.
Anyway, thanks for inquiring Derek.

kind regards
derek charles goodwin.
