The Linghouse IP: 79.199.116.239 Posted on 24/3/2009 at 04:34:04 AM by Colin B Withers
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries there appears to have been another hamlet, or perhaps a single farm, by the name of The Linghouse (Linghouse, Linge House, Lynghouse):-
In 1585 John Blanshard of the Linge House, Bubwith, left a will.
In the parish register, for 1635: buried, Mary Story of Lynghouse, 18 December.
In 1638 William Story of the Linghouse, juxta Willitoft, left a will.
The parish register reference is the only one in the parish registers, so it is likely that this was a single, isolated farm, near to Willitoft.
There is now no trace of this place that I can find.
Does anyone else know of any references to this place?
