KINGERBY MANOR


Description:  Ringwork or motte-and-bailey castle, planned village, and later moated enclosure, the site now occupied by Kingerby Hall, built in 1812 . A probable adulterine castle was constructed before 1216, in which year it was burned and ordered to be destroyed. In the 12th and 13th centuries, a planned village grew up around the castle, including an ecclesiatical complex around the nearby church (TF09SE10). Following its destruction, the motte was altered to form a platform for a moated manorial residence. In the 17th century, the village was depopulated, and in 1812 the manor house was demolished and replaced by Kingerby Hall. Two inhumations, a sword and bracelet also found. Scheduled.
