2019330 Sleaford History

The original settlement of Old Sleaford was situated between Boston Road and the River Slea and objects found at the site give evidence of Roman and Anglo-Saxon occupation. 9 Sleaford Castle For most of its history, the castle was principally a manor house rather than a military stronghold. It was used to store the produce from the Bishop of Sleaford Manor House Lincoln’s land, administer his estates and it provided accommodation for In the time of Edward the Confessor, him when he visited the area.

Queen Mary I (1553-1558) granted the Manor to Edward, Lord Clinton, who sold it to the Carre family.

The Carre family held it until 1686 when, following the death in 1684 of Sir Robert Carre the land Baronet, it passed to his daughter and heiress, Isabella Carre. She married John Hervey, first Earl of Bristol, and since then the Manor of New Sleaford has remained in the ownership of the Earls (later Marquis) of Bristol.

Mr Handley was a Member of Parliament (but not for this district) from 1820-1826 and when Lincolnshire was divided into two constituencies each returned two members. In 1823 Mr Handley accepted nomination as a candidate and was returned unopposed on three occasions; he resigned in 1841. The memorial was erected by a number of local people who felt that their affection for him should be shown in the form of an enduring memorial and a subscription list towards the cost of the work was duly opened.

In Southgate there is also the wall sign of the Black Bull, dated 1689. This represents bull-baiting and is believed to be the only one of its kind in the country. Sleaford Almshouses Opposite St Denys’ Church, are the Carre’s Hospital Almshouses. Founded in 1636 by Robert Carre, they were designed to accommodate 12 poor men and one servant.
