Location : Lincolnshire North Kesteven Welbourn
Grid Ref : SK9637553648
Summary : Sapperton, a medieval and Post Medieval settlement known from documentary evidence but the exact whereabouts of which is unknown. The earthworks to the south of the village of Welbourn may relate to the lost hamlet of Sapperton.
More information : Sapperton, said to be a hamlet in the parish of Welbourn. The little manor-house of Sapperton belonged to the Welby family, and is said to have stood by the side of the Lincoln to Grantham road.(1) The return of the Commission of Inquiry of 1607(a) lists Sapperton "seven cottages only left" ..... most of these depopulations done forty years since". This may be the last Sapperton in Welbourn. (1-2) No further information. (3) An examination of all the available air photographs revealed no trace of Medieval settlement in Welbourn parish other than the Medieval settlement remains around the present village of Welbourne (see SK 95 SE 20). (4) Sapperton is mentioned in the enclosure award. The Little Manor House of Sapperton belonged to the Welby family, and it is said to have stood by the side of Lincoln to Grantham road. The earthworks, which lie to the south end of the village, may be evidence of the contraction of Welbourn. It has also been suggested these earthworks may relate to Sapperton (5)
