GRIMSTHORP, (Lincolnshire) near Bourn in the road to Fokingham. Here it was, that Cha. Brandon D. of Suffolk raised a
palace all on a sudden, for the entertainment of K. Hen. VIII. in his progress into these parts. The hall was adorned with
a suit of hangings, which the D. had by his wife, Mary the French Q. which is in the possession of the D. of Ancaster, who
has a seat here, with a fine park, and a delightful lawn on which there is an annual horse-race. In the midst of the park
are still to be seen some small ruins of Vaudy-Abbey, founded in 1147.
