Lincolnshire / Re: Manor House Horbling Lincolnshire

I'm travelling at the moment but when I return I'll send you a copy of the photo which is filed at the Archive as the Manor House. It is the same one that appeared in Lincolnshire Life, I have a copy of this article somewhere in my files. You will see from the photo that it is totally different from your picture and the house is next to the road not sited across the village stream as in your picture. Map detailed map of 1913 shows that, other than Sandygate Home Farm there are no large properties along the stream. They are almost exclusively pairs of cottages. Some in the pub last night question why the Archive photo is labelled as the Manor House.And that there used to be more buildings behind the pair of cottages currently on the site. Anyway could you confirm the date of the picture because certainly by 1913 the only possible candidate property had been modified.
I'll send you the photo next weekend.
Regards Mark

Hi
I happen to have a photo of the Old Manor House Horbling, regrettably it doesn't look anything like the picture. I however can, like someone else did, identify with a degree of certainty the location of the site in the picture. But I ask the question was the picture actually drawn in 1914? this is because the property was included in a sale of the Conant estate which I have a map of and details of the property. It was then held by Mr Dickins and was as it is now a pair of cottages. The cottages are of some interest as one un-rendered gable end is made of good stone. An earlier enclosure map indicates that there might have been a different building on the site and it might have possibly been the new Manor House, This would be interesting. There is no other mention of such a building. Therefore I would be keen to investigate this further as I live in Horbling and am active in local history.  I also, from church records, have a number of items about various members of the Taylor family. Are you interested in these as well?  Typically in 1829 'The surveyor of the Highways reports to the Vestry that he has received the most abusive language from John Taylor and that he cannot make him work' What other local name are of interest?
