Note 69 — NOTES ON PARISHES ROUND HORNCASTLE. (continued 2)

Of course it is possible that the supposed owner of Greetham may have been this second Lord Strafford, whose Ancestors held Ashby Puerorum. I quote this from a paper in the “Architectural Society’s Journal” of 1891, by Rev. A. R. Maddison, F.S.A., entitled “A Ramble through the parish of St. Mary Magdalene,” in which he mentions house property in Lincoln belonging to the Wentworths. It certainly shows a connection of the Wentworths with Ashby Puerorum, then probably still an appurtenance of the Greetham Manor.
