The Brackenbury family lived in this large house from the mid-eighteenth century for a little over 100 years.

After a succession of owners and insufficient investment its contents were sold in 1937 and the house was demolished in the 1970s.

More details about this house and its owners can be found in T R Leach and R Pacey's book, 'Lost Lincolnshire Country Houses: Volume 2', published by SLHA.  Buy a copy.

The Grebby Mill was built in 1812. Unusually in Lincolnshire the brickwork was protected with whitewash rather than tar.

Milling was carried on until c.1950.

The cap and most of the machinery were removed from the mill in 1963 and it was later converted into domestic accommodation.
