Tupholme

No individual entry found for Tupholme in the Domesday survey. The entry for this Premonstratensian abbey in the Victoria County History (Lincoln, vol. 2, 1906) notes: "The abbey of Tupholme was founded some time before 1190 by Gilbert de Neville and his brother Alan, in honour of the Annunciation [...] The abbey was not very wealthy, but it had sometimes as many as twenty-four canons during the fifteenth century. [...] At the dissolution in 1536 the last abbot received a pension of £18". The entry for this abbey in Historic England [Legacy System number: 30221] notes: "The monument includes the remains of Tupholme Abbey, a Premonstratensian monastery founded between 1155-65 on land granted by Alan and Gilbert de Neville. [...] The abbey was dissolved in 1536 and the property granted to Sir Thomas Heneage of Hainton. Thereafter the site was occupied by a country house, demolished around the beginning of the 18th century and replaced in the 19th century by cottages and a farmhouse, which were themselves dismantled in 1986. The remains of the medieval monastery are therefore intermingled with those of the post-medieval house and farms and the monument includes the earthworks and standing remains of medieval and post-medieval buildings, ponds, ditches and associated features. [...] The northern range of the cloister would originally have been occupied by the monastic church, although no obvious remains of this structure have been identified."
