BLANKNEY, (Lincolnshire) on the E. side of the road from Sleaford to Lincoln, was anciently the barony of the Deincourts,
who flourished, in a continual succession, from the arrival of the Normans to the R. of Hen. VI. Mt. and Fair here, which
are long since discontinued. Since their time it was the seat of Ld. Widdrington.
