Skellingthorpe former estate cottages
A terrace of cottages built in 1878, with the date stone on one gable end and what looks like the Christ's Hospital coat of arms on the other. There is a nice version of this coat of arms above the door of the nearby Stone Arms pub.
These estate houses were built thanks to Henry Stone, Lord of the Manor of Skellingthorpe, who is buried in the churchyard.
Henry Stone died in 1693. In his will he gave his Manor and land to Christ's
Hospital, London. On the land they built cottages, a school and the pub.
In 1914 Christ's Hospital sold off by Auction all their properties in the Parish.
Opposite these cottages is a yard of cattle. The farm (Manor Farm) is a major producer, and there is a slaughterhouse at the end of nearby Ferry Lane.
I understand there are plans to build a housing estate on the site of the farm.
