HOLDER 1 | 1896
Earl of Ancaster, 1st Earl of Ancaster, created 1892, 24th Baron Willoughby de Eresby, 2nd Baron Aveland
Person: https://manorialregistry.com/?mhr_person=gilbert-henry-heathcote-drummond-willoughby-1st-earl-of-ancaster-18715
Transfer: The manor is recorded as being in the possession or lordship of the Earl of Ancaster by 1896. The mode and date of acquisition are not stated in the source.
Previous holder: Unknown
Holding arrangement: sole
Narrative / explanation: Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire for 1896 describes Aby as a village and parish and states that the Earl of Ancaster was lord of the manor. The entry does not provide a conveyance date, identify the preceding holder, or establish whether the earldom held the manor directly, through trustees, or as part of a wider settled estate. The holder is therefore recorded from 1896 only, with the earlier transfer left open.
Source citation: Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire, 1896, entry for Aby: 'The Earl of Ancaster P.C. who is lord of the manor'. Digitised historical directory accessed through the University of Leicester Special Collections.
