Irnham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Irnham is a village in Lincolnshire in South Kesteven about ten miles south east of Grantham, which is famous as the former home of the Luttrell Psalter
Irnham Hall was the ancient seat of the Paynells and then from about 1200, the Luttrell family, Lords of Irnham until 1418. The Manor then passed by marriage to the Hilton family and similarly in 1510 to the Thimelby family, by whom the present Tudor house was built in about 1600.
In 1853 the Hall was sold to Woodhouse and had several owners until bought by the present owners the Benton Jones family in 1901.
St Andrews Church is famous for the tomb and Easter Sepuchre of Geoffrey Luttrell, who commissioned the Luttrell Psalter in the early 14th century.
The village pub is the Griffin Inn on Bulby Road. To the north is Osgodby.
