ALINGTONS MANOR

Identity: likely — The Bottisham registry record's form 'Alingtons Manor' and saved alternative 'Allington (Manor)' correspond to the historically documented Manor of Allington and Vauxes in Bottisham. Cambridgeshire Archives records explicitly associate Allington and Vauxes with Bottisham, while historical accounts identify Bottisham Hall as part of the Jenyns manorial estate. The identification is strong but the accessible sources do not reproduce the registry record's full description or provide a complete medieval title history.
Representative point: 52.2196945, 0.2627999
Basis: documented_estate_centre — Bottisham Hall, Tunbridge Lane, is the documented late-18th-century principal house built for Rev. George Leonard Jenyns on the estate associated with the Manor of Allington and Vauxes. Historic England gives its location as NGR TL 55141 61644; Parks & Gardens provides the corresponding decimal coordinates.

Boundary basis: The sources establish the manor's association with Bottisham and the Jenyns estate centred on Bottisham Hall, but no accessible manor map, rental map, enclosure plan, tithe plan, or other source was found that defines the historical manorial perimeter. The modern parish, Bottisham Hall park, and any later estate boundary cannot safely be substituted for the manorial extent.

Warnings / uncertainty:
- The identification is likely rather than fully confirmed because the accessible TNA page exposes no substantive descriptive text beyond the supplied record metadata.
- Bottisham Hall is used as an estate-centre proxy, not asserted to be the original medieval manor-house site.
- No historical manorial boundary polygon has been returned; the manor's extent may have included land beyond the immediate Bottisham Hall grounds and may have changed over time.
