Epworth

In the civil parish of Epworth. In the historic county of Lincolnshire (Modern Authority of North Lincolnshire, 1974 county of Humberside).

King writes nothing known of castle mentioned by Harvey. From Lewis "was anciently the residence of the Howard family, who had a castellated mansion, of which there are no remains except the site, where within the last half century were dug up some of the cannon belonging to the fortifications" Map reference is my guess based on open site near church.

The Ordnance Survey Map Grid Reference is SE784039
