Index to Lost Lincolnshire Country Houses (all 6 volumes) and Lincolnshire Houses and their Families (2 volumes) by Terence R Leach and Robert Pacey.

Following the death of Terence Leach in 1994, Volumes 5 and 6 (which completed the publishing project) were written alone by Robert Pacey. Terence was unable to complete a parallel account of Lincolnshire Houses and their Families, but two substantial volumes in this series have been published.

All eight books are available from SLHA, Jews’ Court, 2/3 Steep Hill, Lincoln, LN2 1LS. The comprehensive index, compiled by Elaine Thurgood, includes references to all the family names and to over 140 Lincolnshire houses. There is also a handy location map.
