Croft Street, Horncastle
Romney House - The description given by Robert Bell & Company, is, "This residence was once a former church..." Well, actually, this still is a former church, so anyone looking for this to be a consecrated building, will be disappointed.

This house on Croft Street was once a church, but the Estate Agents may lead you to believe it still is. Just a mistake in the wording.

Croft Street, Horncastle
Looking from Bryant Close to Queen Street. The Close is relatively quiet, there being no through traffic. There is a walkway to South Street from this end of the street, which makes the swimming baths more accessible.

I wonder if this building would have been employed as stables when first built. Horses had to go somewhere in the town when no other transport was available. This is something I don't remember considering before. Looking beyond to Queen Street shows that there is another such double-doorway.

Bryant Close, Horncastle
I just took a discrete photograph into the close as it's all sheltered housing and retirement homes for the elderly, of which I am one, but I don't live here.
I did attract attention and was asked by an elderly gentleman if I was there to photograph the Town Hall. Before I could answer, I was told what an eyesore it was. So that's one opinion. There again, most places look untidy when they are boarded up.
His wife gave him the, "What are you on about", look, when he told me the old Drill Hall was once the Town Hall. Which it wasn't.
The housing in the close was built in 1969.

Croft Street, Horncastle
The street is a cul-de-sac, but in the past may have run all the way through to South Street. As it is now, there is a connection on foot to Bryant Close, at the end of the street, which then leads to South Street.
