Kingerby Hall, or Manor, is a Grade II listed building dating from 1812. It is situated on the scheduled site of a motte and bailey castle and a later moated manor house. The castle was built sometime prior to 1216, in which year it burnt down. In the 12th and 13th centuries a village grew up around the castle, but in the 17th century the village population declined.{{PastScape|mname=Kingerby Hall|mnumber=349955|accessdate=30 June 2011}}{{NHLE|desc=Kingerby Hall|num=1166082|accessdate=30 June 2011}}{{NHLE|desc=Scheduled castle, Kingerby|num=1018902|accessdate=30 June 2011}}
