The Gatehouse website record for Hougham Manor

In the civil parish of Hougham. In the historic county of Lincolnshire (Modern Authority of Lincolnshire, 1974 county of Lincolnshire).

Moated manor house, early C13, C15, C16, with C19 and C20 additions. The house may have included a chapel. The current Manor House at Hougham was built c. 1620 and has an early Georgian refacing. Inside there is a large triple respond, possibly C13 or earlier and apparently in situ. Also there are traces of three Perpendicular windows, probably of a former chapel. The de Busseys held this moated manor house and an oratory was licensed in 1405. The moat surrounding the manor house was visible as earthworks and mapped from good quality air photographs. It survives on three sides to the south, west and east of the house, forming an enclosure 70m wide.
