I also found that my browser got there it if I just used the line beginning 'rightmove (but without the "[/").
As it appears to be a listed building, you can find more about it online:

A search at Lincs To The Past brings up a number of references, mostly from Lincolnshire Life magazine. These appear to be digitised copies, but I haven't delved into them. I used an advanced search for "seven stars grantham" (without quotes) at

Were the Almhouses known locally as Seven Stones?
I wonder if she had a place in the almhouse due her late husband being 'an estate employee' / only presuming he was the estate Gamekeeper

It might be 'of interest' but Belton in Axholme is basically t'other end of the county to Belton near Grantham.
I'll try to post the correct link when I go to my laptop - my tablet doesn't do fancy stuff.
ADDED: My tablet isn't the only thing that doesn't do fancy stuff. I can't display a link the way geneius did, so I'll have to do it the 'long way'.
https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/libr.../53997.article
Then scroll down to Belton (Grantham)

Geography on the other side of England isn't my strong point!
Better to the West of the Pennines!
My tablet doesnot do fancy things either , reassuring to know I am not alone

Just wading into the thread here...... I had an Aunt who would often knit together Fact, Fiction and her own version. Played havoc with 100's of photos........ grrrrrrrrr..
Anyway could the word Hayes have started out as Harrowby ? after all if one doesn't actually know, then any version always seems to fit.

The name MINTA rang a bell with me, though it's a very distant connection.
My great uncle William Harcourt KENNEDY married Mary Catherine DUNKLEY, whose parents were George DUNKLEY, a prominent inhabitant of Skegness, and Jane Minta GARNER.
Jane was born in Ancaster in 1842 to James GARNER and Catherine WADESON. (They married in Normanton (LIN) in 1839; one of the witnesses was Thomas MINTA.)
Catherine WADESON was baptised in Normanton in 1812, daughter of John WADESON and Jane MINTA. (They married in Normanton in 1792.)
Jane MINTA was baptised in Normanton in 1772, daughter of John and Ann MINTA.
Or to put it another way, this John and Ann MINTA were great great grandparents of the wife of my great uncle. However, please don't get the wrong idea about the depth of my research - this bit started very sketchily in anticipation of something more organised when we lived in Lincolnshire, which I never managed to get round to. I've just taken it back a bit more now to see exactly where the Minta name came from, but I don't expect to do any more on it.
The most likely baptism I could find for your Christopher was in 1790 in Ropsley, son of Thomas and Ann, so very much the same area, but I couldn't see any immediate connection to this one of mine.
One further MINTA reference that I picked up was on another forum, relating to the will of a William of Gonerby, proved 1723:
https://www.
rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=495290.0
The person who posted it said she was interested in contact with other Minta researchers; I didn't do anything about this at the time, although since she has Wadeson interests, which I now find I have a link to as well, I might now do so.

Wow geneius. Thanks very much for this. I had no idea about Christopher Minta being a gamekeeper or being a military man. I guess that explains why his wife was living alone with their children in the census records. It has been very difficult to track down any information about him other than a marriage record and a possible baptism record for 1790 but I can't be 100% sure that it's him.

From google.books
he wife of James Cordley was Ann Minta, who was born in Ropsley, Lincolnshire, where her father, Thomas Minta, was proprietor of a farm of six hundred acres and was a very prosperous and prominent man. ... Thomas Minta died in I8I6. His daughter, Ann, was educated in the Grantham boarding school and was a woman of fine mind. She died in 1886, when nearly ninety years of age. Of her ten children six sons attained manhood. Christopher M., the eldest, graduated from ...
The history of the MINTA family in England dates back to 1700 when an Italian family of that name was forced to flee from Italy for politucal reasons......

Can I just ask how you found this information? I have done various Google searches to no avail. Also, I don't currently have a paid up account with Ancestry or FMP so I have been doing a lot of my recent research through Family Search and other free resources.
