History

71/73 Main Street originally formed part of the Manor Estate and was long associated with the Normanton family, recorded there from 1663. After the estate was broken up around 1810, part was sold to Thomas Kilby and developed by John Tims, who rebuilt the cottage (No.73), added a second property and later retired there. In 1859 the cottages were sold to Agnes Williamson, reuniting them with the Manor Estate. Following her death they were auctioned and passed through several Leicester owners. In 1893 they returned to local ownership. During the 20th century the properties were split and resold, with No.73 later named Manorfield Cottage.

The cost of these checks is £60 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.”
