Kingerby Castle

Kingerby Castle

Kingerby Castle was in the small settlement of Kingerby some 5 miles north-west of Market Rasen, Lincolnshire (gbmapping|TF056928).

It was a motte and bailey castle which was burnt down in 1216. The motte was then altered to form a platform for a manor house which was built on the site. In 1812 the manor house was demolished and replaced by Kingerby Hall, which still stands on the site.
