Haugh is both a parish and a small village on the edge of the Wold hills, about 3 miles west of Alford. South Thoresby parish lies to the north and South Ormsby parish lies to the west. The parish covered about 1,370 acres in the early 1800's, but was reduced to 585 acres by 1891.
The village is virtually non-existant. If you are planning a visit:
- By automobile, take the old Roman Road west out of Skegness to Ulceby Cross. That road becomes the A16 trunk road, which you will follow through Driby Top. Turn north (right) into South Thoresby, then right again on the narrow county road to Haugh.
- See our touring page for visitor services.
- The manor house was erected in the reign of Henry VII. It was the seat the HAUGH family, then later the BOLLE family.
- A portion of the house was in use as a farmhouse in 1900.
- The national grid reference is TF 4175.
- You'll want an Ordnance Survey Explorer map, which has a scale of 2.5 inches to the mile.
- See our Maps page for additional resources.
- This place was an ancient parish in Lincolnshire and became a modern Civil Parish when those were established.
- The parish was in the Marsh division of the ancient Calceworth Wapentake in the East Lindsey district in the parts of Lindsey.
- In 1841 the parish consisted of one farm, one church and eight inhabitants. It was termed extra parochial because there could be no meeting of parishioners, no officers, etc.
- White's 1900 Directory of Lincolnshire places the parish, perhaps erroneously, in the South Lindsey division of the county.
- The parish is governed by a joint Swaby, Haugh and South Thoresby Parish Council. They are NOT funded to provide you with help in family history research.
- For today's district governance, see the East Lindsey District Council.
