In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Essendine like this:
ESSENDINE, a chapelry in Ryhall parish, Rutland; contiguous to Lincoln, and on the Great Northern railway, 4¼ miles NNE of Stamford. It has a station, with telegraph, on the railway; and two branch lines strike off hence to respectively Stamford and Bourn. Post town, Ryhall, under Stamford. ...
Acres, 1, 526. Real property, £1, 770. Pop., 193. Houses, 34. The manor belonged, at Domesday, to the bishops of Lincoln; and had a castle. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Ryhall, in the diocese of Peterborough. The church is chiefly early English, but has a very early Norman doorway.
