Beaucarrs Farm, Ealand

By Angus Townley

From Shirley Birkhill;

 

Thornton’s old farm house pulled down in the 1980’s.

 

Plaque on wall over the side door now on the rockery of bungalow on site states;

Built 1686 by Joseph Daniels for daughters Sarah and Mary.

During demolition thought to have been a tithe barn.

On the 1738 manorial plan the farmhouse is clearly seen as the first house on the left approaching Ealand from Crowle. This appears to be numbered 224 [The scan is not 100% clear and I will confirm on my next visit to Lincoln archives]. From the survey this property is desctibed as “A Messuage, House, Homestead, and Garden” of 1 Rood 28 Perches in size. The owner is Mr Joseph Hobson.
