A fact from Holbeche House appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 August 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Holbeach House served as the theatre for the final battle of the conspirators of the Gunpowder Plot, in which the conspirators undid themselves after they accidentally detonated their gunpowder store?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/August.

Content

This article focuses wholly on the role of the house in the gunpowder plot. What happened to it before and after? Peterkingiron (talk) 08:53, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peter - I think there is info on the web .... can you find out and add it? Victuallers (talk) 14:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What I have found out is (I think) WP:OR. One solution to that is to publish it elsewhere, but I do not have the time to.

Kingswinford was on the borders of Staffordshire before the creation of the West Midlands. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.150.177.249 (talk) 16:06, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

modern day

can someone add this picture of holbeach holbeach house —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.188.17 (talk) 18:37, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can't load those pics as they are not free use. However I found a picture that is free Victuallers (talk) 20:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date

I strongly suspect that the present house is 18th century or even later, and is thus a successor of the house involved in the plot. However I have added a grid reference in comment -- I do not know how to do this the proper way. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:20, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why has this article been scythed

This article used to mention the people who were there at the time of the battle. This is key information and it seems to have been deleted in error. Can someone repair their damage before I do.Victuallers (talk) 15:41, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ownership

The house as a care home changed ownership in 2020 to Care Concern Group, though it is now undergoing he process of decommissioning as a care home due to the difficulty in upgrading the building to meet regulatory requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Headdie (talk • contribs) 09:18, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Holbeach

There must be a connection with Henry Holbeach,which would also explain why it became a Catholic stronghold after the reformation. Henry Holbeach, seems obvious that he probably built the house and that the Lyttletons followed him. 2A00:23C6:1A7E:3001:3CDF:EC11:3114:6B0A (talk) 18:29, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This alleged link is highly improbable. The house is named from the brook that runs past it, whose name is recorded long before this. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:33, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
