In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Harrowby like this:
HARROWBY, a township in Grantham parish, Lincoln; adjacent to the Grantham and Nottingham canal, 1 mile W of Grantham. Real property, £3, 072. Pop., 118. Houses, 19. The manor belonged to the Rolts; passed, about the middle of last century, to the Ryders; and gives them the title of Earl. Harrowby Hall was formerly the seat of the earls, but is now otherwise occupied.
