Heritage listing
Kingerby Castle was in the small settlement of Kingerby some five miles north-west of Market Rasen, Lincolnshire. It was a motte and bailey castle which was burnt down in 1216 by King John of England, before being fully destroyed in December 1218. The motte was then altered to form a platform for a manor house which was built on the site. In 1812 the manor house was demolished and replaced by Kingerby Hall, which still stands on the site.
