Grantham: Medieval Manor House Excavations to be open tomorrow
By The Editor 3rd Sep 2021
Nine years after it was first unearthed just outside Grantham, a medieval manor house is to open to the public tomorrow.
The manor house remains, found in a farmer's field at Croxton Kerrial, is also set to become a tourist attraction, with regular openings over the summer, spring and autumn.
The public display of the remains is thanks to a £40,000 National Lottery Grant, and great support from the village in preparing the site.
The Medieval Manor House Excavations will be open from 10am to 4pm.
The event promises the following attractions:
- Have a free guided tour of the site and learn about its history and the story of the owners of the site, including Krokr, the crooked Viking and the Criol (Kerrial) family
- See the remains of the great hall, kitchen and well, the tithe barn and cattle bar and the medieval garderobe.
- Come and meet the Vikings, Medieval Knights & Longbowmen and watch their demonstrations.
- Examine the Medieval and Anglo Saxon finds from the site, including those found at the bottom of the well.
- Visit the church with its fabulous medieval pews and ancient graffiti and enjoy drinks and refreshments inside (from 10am until 3pm).
