Hanby Hall

Hanby Hall is a Grade II* listed early 18th-century building in Alford, Lincolnshire.

It is a red brick, Flemish bond, two-story house with attics.

The following description of Hanby Hall being partly destroyed in 1645 by Parliamentarian forces, often referred to as The Battle of Alford, was discounted as a work of fiction in Lincolnshire Notes & Queries, Volume 9, published in 1907, pages 162 and 163,[3] and in Lincolnshire Past and Present, No 6 Winter 1992 and No 7 Spring 1992.

[4] An earlier Hanby Hall existed in the village, partly destroyed in 1645 during the English Civil War by Parliamentarian forces led by the Earl of Manchester who captured and killed William Hamby, its Royalist owner.

The present 18th-century farm house is possibly built on the site of a Medieval hall and the location includes a medieval moated enclosure, fishponds, enclosures and boundaries seen as earthworks and thought to be the site of the Lost Village of Hanby Hall.
