Eresby Manor

• There's never been town in Lincolnshire named "Eresby". However, Eresby Manor in Spilsby came to exist c.1276.
  • "Also known as, or recorded in historical documents, as; Eresby Hall; Heresby"
    • NOTE: Before reading further, a review of the meaning of the words "in" and "at" is useful. If someone died "at" Jerusalem, the general locality of Jerusalem is where one died. Dying "in" Jerusalem is specific and not general.
  • "The remains of a C13 manor house, licensed 1276, altered during C15, were found during excavations. This was replaced by a C16 hall with associated formal garden, ponds and bowling green, which survive as earthworks, and a tree avenue. The manor of Eresby was held by the Willoughby family, also of Grimsthorpe Castle in the south of Lincolnshire.
  • In 1086 the land at Eresby which was previously held by Aschil, was in the possession of the Bishop of Durham. During the 12th century the land passed though marriage to the de Bec family and in 1296 John de Bec was granted a licence to crenellate the manor of Eresby. The manor stayed in the de Bec's family until the early 14th century when it passed by marriage to the Willoughby family. In the early 16th century it again passed by marriage to Charles Brandon who built a new house on the site replacing the old manor house."
• Summary: If a source suggests death or birth "at" (or "in"), they can only rightly be referring to Eresby Manor in Spilsby.
