Nocton Hall - now an RAF Hospital - has a long history, though the present building goes back only to the year 1841. It replaced an older hall which was destroyed by fire in 1834. And this older building, it is said, was constructed from the stones of the ancient Nocton Park Priory - hence a curse which was laid upon the Hall, that it would never be in the possession of one family for more than three generations.
It is a fact that it never has been occupied by one family for more than three generations!
[Lincolnshire Echo - 13 June 1962]
As 2011 almost comes to an end, may I wish all my readers and friends a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
To use a quote from one of my favourite comedians, Dave Allen: "Goodnight, thank you, and may your God go with you".
