Historical and descriptive sketches of the town and soke of Horncastle [1822] / in the county of Lincoln and several places adjacent

by George Weir

HALTHAM,

Called in the Domesday survey Holtham, is about five miles distant from Horncastle. The manorial estates, which comprise almost the whole of the parish, once belonged to the Marmyons of Scrivelsby, and are now possessed by the Champion Dymoke, a descendant of the female branch of that family. The church, which appears to have suffered much from time, has in its pristine state possessed a considerable share of architectural merit. A large window at the eastern end contains very fine tracery, and at one time, together with some of the other windows, exhibited a large portion of stained glass, of which only one piece, containing the arms of La Warre, is now remaining. [45] The rectory, united to that of Roughton in 1741, is in the presentation of the lord of the manor.

WOOD ENDERBY,

In the Domesday record written Endrebi, is about five miles distant from Horncastle. The manor is the property of Lady Banks. The church is a small uninteresting building. The Bishop of Carlisle is patron of the curacy.
