The Palfreyman family resided at Lusby. They were descended from William Palfreyman, who was Mayor of Lincoln in 1536. Mr. E. Palfreyman contributed “1 launce and 1 light horse” to the defence of the country when the Spanish Armada was expected; one of them is named among the List of Gentry in the county, on the Herald’s Visitation in 1643 (“Linc. N. & Q,” ii., p. 73.) Ralph Palfreyman was presented to the Vicarage of Edlington in 1869, by Anthony Palfreyman, merchant of the Staple, Lincoln (“Architect, S. Journal,” 1897, p. 15.)
