Boroughby
Boroughby (archaically, the Manor of Boroughby[1]) is an area lying adjacent to Peterborough city centre, immediately to the north of Westgate, in the present-day county of Cambridgeshire in the United Kingdom.
The former administrative headquarters of the Peterborough Building Society maintains the name of Boroughbury Manor House, demolished in 1921;[2] the Grade II listed building later served as headquarters of Nene Housing Society and has since been converted into affordable homes for local people in need.[3]
Monk's Tithe Barn was built at Boroughby in 1307. In 1892, the mediaeval barn was destroyed "for the sake of its materials and for the ground on which it stood."[4] A surviving remnant of the boundary wall of part of the curtilage can be found at the south east corner of the Manor House grounds.[5]
The former Masonic Hall was constructed in 1864, possibly using materials (the limestone rubble at least) from the Boroughbury Maltings, which earlier occupied the site.[6]
The North Westgate development is a £100 million regeneration project to deliver a new urban quarter, with a mix of offices, retail and housing in the vicinity.[7]
