    Burghersh (the brother of Henry Burghersh, Bishop of Lincoln), had obtained the manor of this vill and a grant of free warren over its lands. A branch of the great house of Scrope next became lords of this Manor. Later, Sir Roger de Swillington assigned to the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln an annual rent of twenty marks, arising from his Manor of Haydor and lands in Haceby and Braceby. When Ralph, Lord Cromwell, founded his College at Tallershall he gave sixteen acres of wood at Haydor for its support, together with an annual rent of £d^ 13s. 4d., derived from tenements here and at Buston. A descendant of the Busseys was still resident at Haydor in 1587 in the person of Edward Bussey, who was fined ^^50 to the Star Chamber for some offence he had committed. Leland says, one Bussey coming of a younger brother of the house of Busseys of Hougheham, dwelleth in an Old Place at Haider, that he and his parents hath of a fee farm, of the Church of Lincoln. The site of that old place is still clearly indicated by the remains of its moat. In the North Aisle windows of the Church is some fine old glass of the reign of Richard H. One contains figures of the then three favourite patron saints of England—S. Edward, S. George and S. Edmund. The second window contains figures of S. Vincent, S. Lawrence and S. Stephen. In the reign of Charles II. the Manors of Culverthorpe and Haydor passed into the hands of the Newton family. In 1743 the estates were inherited by Susanna the wife of William Eyre Archer, Esq., M.P. for Berks, and subsequently by the present owner Col. George Bramston Archer Houblon.
