Lincolnshire / Re: Lunatic Asylum in or near Greetham.
« on: Sunday 11 April 21 22:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi.
I was just flicking through the list of topics and came across this.
I don't know of an asylum in Greetham, but there was a private asylum at Greatford Hall which is about 4.5 miles from Stamford.
It was quite famous in it's day as it was owned and run by Dr Willis who treated George 111 there in the late 18C.
The Hall was destroyed by fire in 1922 so was in place during the time period your interested in.

Hope this helps

Thanks
Cal

Good Morning.  Please forgive the intrusion but I'm new to this site and was just browsing through some of the posts when I came across this.
