"The monument includes the remains of a medieval manorial complex with associated church and churchyard located 230m south east of the present All Saints' Church.

In 1086 there were two manors at Wragby in the possession of Erenis of Buron and Waldin the Artificer.

The surviving remains are thought to represent the manor held by Erenis of Buron which included responsibility for a church and a priest and was the centre of a substantial estate"

Old Church is about 0.2 miles to the southeast of the New Church (also All Saints).

DB 9 June 2020

Plan of the Old Church marked out in the ground. Local signage states :-

"The Church which stood on this site is mentioned in The Domesday Book as a part of the manor of Euranis de Buron ... 

From a survey carried out by the Lincoln History and Archaeology Society, we can say that the earliest part of the church, the north aisle and its arcade, were built in the transitional Norman style.

The chancel arch was of early English type, perhaps opening into a contemporary (C13th) chancel.

To the north of the chancel was an aisle, which before the reformation served as a lady chapel ... 

The centre of Wragby moved westwards and the church fell out of use.

A faculty for its demolition was obtained in 1836, with only the chancel retained as a mortuary chapel.

The old church was demolished and materials sold off to help with the costs of the new church (built 1838) ... 

The chancel was finally demolished in 1981 having become derelict"

This large inn opposite the Market Place takes its name from the Turnor family who were squires of the Panton estate, including Wragby.

White's Directory of Lincolnshire 1856 states :-

Wragby "parish contains 610 inhabitants, and about 1600 acres of fertile land, all (except two small freeholds) belonging to Christopher Turnor, Esq., the lord of the manor, who, about 20 years ago, improved the town by the erection of new houses and other buildings.

The market, held every Thursday, is of trifling consequence.

Here are two annual fairs, on Holy Thursday for sheep, and on Sept. 29 for horned cattle, &c.

Petty Sessions are held at the Turnor's Arms Inn, on the first Thursday of every month"
