Harlaxton Manor
near Grantham, Lincolnshire - Gregory family
"Harlaxton was once a hunting seat of John of Gaunt, and as it is not far from Melton Mowbray,
the head quarters of the chase, the coincidence is remarkable enough.
The old Manor House was taken down not many years ago, and the present splendid mansion erected in its stead.
There was a bequest left to the parish by Cadwallade Gwynne, the interest of which is paid yearly to the poor.
The family of Gregory derives from John Longden Esq., who took the name of Sherwin in 1818 and again in 1860 the
additional one of Gregory, on succeeding to the Harlaxton estate at the death of George Gregory."
