Grainsby Hall

Grainsby Hall was a country estate close to Grainsby.[3]

In the 18th century Grainsby Hall was owned by the Nettleship-family. Francis Nettleship, who was the last member of the family, died in 1797. He left most of his property to his servant Elizabeth Borrell, who already owned land and the mansion house. When she died in 1826, the property was heired by her niece Elizabeth Charlotte Borrell, who married William Haigh of Halifax in 1827. Their son was George Henry Haigh (1829-1887), the father of George Henry Caton Haigh.[4]

In 1905 The Haigh-family arranged that a railway halt was built, 2 km from the Hall, Grainsby Halt railway station on the East Lincolnshire Railway. The station closed in 1952.

Grainsby Hall was demolished in 1972. The only part that now remains is a stable block, that is a Grade II listed building.[5]
