Map of Hanby Hall, Horncastle, UK
Hanby Hall was built for Sir Richard Hamby. It is situated opposite St. Wilfrid's church, Alford. It is a red brick, Flemish bond, two-storey house with attics. Originally five-bay and L-plan, it was extended to the right in the late 18th century. The building was Grade II* listed on 20 May 1953.
An earlier Hanby Hall existed in the village, partly destroyed in 1645 during the English Civil War by Parliamentarian forces led by the Earl of Manchester who captured and killed William Hamby, its Royalist owner.
The name Hanby Hall is also associated with Hanby Hall Farm, 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Alford, near to Welton le Marsh, (53.2048°N 0.2058°E / 53.2048; 0.2058). The present 18th-century farm house is possibly built on the site of a Medieval hall and the location includes a medieval moated enclosure, fishponds, enclosures and boundaries seen as earthworks and thought to be the site of the Lost Village of Hanby Hall.
