More information : Stainfield Hall and its associated Post Medieval garden were originally recorded in TF 17 SW 1. Documentary research indicates the house at Stainfield was rebuilt in 1611 with later additions in the early 18th century, and had extensive formal gardens associated with it. After 1760 the house fell in to disrepair and was pulled down in 1773. the remaining parts were destroyed by fire in 1855. The present building dates from 1856. The Post Medieval formal gardens were surveyed on the ground by the RCHME and mapped from good quality air photographs as part of the LIncolnshire NMP. The earthworks have mostly been levelled and were visible as cropmarks. The formal garden overlies a Medieval village settlement (recorded in TF 17 SW 12) and a Benedictine nunnery (recorded in TF 17 SW 1). The main features identified were an ornamental terrace (TF 1129 7308) and pond (TF 1130 7319), a bowling green (TF 1124 7310), a wild garden (TF 1132 7304) and a kitchen garden (TF 1132 7311).
