Hannah is a tiny hamlet in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It is to be found less than two miles inland of the North Sea coast at Sutton on Sea, four miles north-east of Alford, and fifteen miles south-east of Louth[1] There is evidence of a Bronze Age round barrow.[2]
In antiquity, Hannah was known as Hannay.[3] The church, located in Hannah, is dedicated to St Andrew and is a Grade I listed building, built of greenstone about 1758, with early 19th, and some 20th-century, alterations.[4]
Hagnaby Priory, later Hagnaby Abbey, was situated in Hagnaby.[5] Pevsner states that a Premonstratensian priory, founded in 1175, stood half a mile to the north of the village. Fragments of the priory, including octagonal shafts and window tracery, exist at Hagnaby Abbey Farm a mile and a quarter to the west.[6] English Heritage has noted the existence of the suppressed priory through evidence of aerial photographs and building debris, and grassed foundations of a later formal garden and post-mediæval house.[7]
