Who remembers this stately home near Grantham?

Honington Hall, near Barkston, built 1862-3 in ‘Elizabethan style’ from stone. Demolished 1946.The owner was a great philanthropist and paid for a new hospital to be built in a similar style, but from red brick in Cambridgeshire:‘The North Cambridgeshire Cottage Hospital, adjoining and overlooking the park, is a structure of brick, with lodge and detached residence for the surgeon, built and furnished by the munificence of Miss M.E. Trafford Southwell, of Honington Hall, Grantham, at a cost of about £8,000, and opened Nov. 22, 1873: the foundress endowed the hospital with a sum of £6,000, augmented by donations to the amount of £10,000: there are beds for 26 patients.’The hospital is now also lost within more modern replacement buildings.The site of Honington Hall still retains the entrance gate piers and gatehouse in the same stone. Today the entrance road is named Old Hall Spinney.
