Overview

History & significance

Moated site of Newhall Grange is a medieval defensive enclosure located in Lincolnshire. The site comprises a substantial moat forming an irregular polygonal or roughly rectangular perimeter, characteristic of high-status manorial settlements of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites typically enclosed the principal dwelling and associated farm buildings of a medieval landowner, with the water-filled ditch serving both defensive and status-signalling functions. The Newhall Grange moat represents a well-preserved example of this form of medieval settlement pattern common across the East Midlands region.
