LYNDON, (Rutland) in the great N. road within 5 m. of Stamford, was granted by K. Edw. III. to Robert de Corby; but in the
R, of Edw, IV. it bel. to John Daneys. In the R. of Edward VI. it was in the family of Peyton; from which it was conveyed
to John Hunt, whose son mortgaged it in the R. of Q. Eliz. to Tobias Loveday of Stamford. In later times it was purchased
by Sir Abel Barker, and his brother Thomas; and the late Sir Tho. Barker, son of Sir Abel, had his seat here, as has now
Sam. Barker, Esq; who married the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Will. Whiston.
