Civil War earthwork near Irby on Humber: aerial 2022 (1)

Next to the Wanderlust Way. Civil War earthwork fort, comprising a rectangular earthen rampart with projecting bastions at each of its four corners, an enclosing ditch, and a counterscarp bank. The fort is believed to have enclosed a hall belonging to the Holles family. The Holles family, ennobled by James I, was split by the Civil War; Denzil, an MP, commanded Parliamentary troops, while his cousin Gervase, MP for Grimsby, was a prominent supporter of Charles I. Such fortification of manors was fairly common during the first English Civil War (1642-46), and is also recorded in Humberside at Scorborough, home of the Hotham family. The battle to control Lincolnshire was fiercely contested throughout late 1642 and 1643. For much of this time the king's forces controlled much of the county and sought to prevent the Parliamentarians in Hull and Boston from communicating and from moving troops up and down the county. It is likely that this monument was built at about that time, by the king's forces, to keep a watch on the major north-south routes. See: Link

McAulay Memorial Homes, Aylesby

The building was erected in the memory of Captain Francis Willmer McAulay RFA (TF) who was killed in action on May 21st, 1916. He was the only son of a family who for three generations farmed some 80 acres at Aylesby. The intention was to provide homes, not so much for old people as for anyone in difficult circumstances, such as widows with young children, or disabled ex-servicemen with families.
