It is situated approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) south-west from the village of Digby.

[2] Bloxholm Hall is a partially demolished early 18th-century country house of which the surviving north wing now serves as a Grade II listed farmhouse.

[3][4] It was built in 1707 for Septimus Cyprian Thornton and was acquired by the Duchess of Rutland, from whom it descended to General Lord Robert Manners (1721–1782).

It passed to his son George Manners (1763–1828), High Sheriff of Lincolnshire for 1826, who further enlarged and renovated the hall to the designs of Vulliamy, adding a stable block (now also Grade II listed).

He died in 1887 leaving an only daughter Mary Georgiana, who predeceased him, having married Henry Olgilvy.
