“HACKTHORN, a parish in the E. division of the wapentake of Aslacoe, parts of Lindsey, county Lincoln, 7 miles N.E. of Lincoln, its post town, and 10 S.W. of Market Rasen. This place is very small, but of great antiquity, a church and village having existed here long before the Norman conquest. Stone is quarried, though of very inferior quality. The Roman road from Lincoln to Barton-upon-Humber passed about 2 miles from the village. The tithes were commuted for land under an Enclosure Act in 1778. The living is a vicarage* annexed to the rectory of Cold Hanworth, in the diocese of Lincoln, value £260. The church, dedicated to St. Michael, is an ancient structure, built about the time of the Conquest, on the site of a more ancient one. At the S. and W. entrances are fine Norman arches. Hackthorn Hall is the seat of Robert Amcotts, Esq., who is lord of the manor. Here are two schools supported by subscription."
