Daniel,
I think you are on about the area where the Brocklesby Fair is Held, this area is mostly artificial, put in place by Sir Lancelot Capability Brown as was the pond and Bridge at Newsham. the Pond at Newsham was originaly a streem bed which was and is still fed by a spring which is close to the gatehouse you mentioned above Brown simply widened the water cause and damed it off to the north to form the Lake…

Regards
Chris…

If you go straight through the arch of the house, you come to a very large pond with an island in the middle.

Newhouse Update:
15 November 1225:

Morton. To the sheriff of Lincolnshire. Whereas the king can and ought to dispose by his will, according to an inquisition taken at Newhouse, of a toft formerly of Jordan Clerk in Grasby, for having which Helewise, who was the wife of the same Jordan , offers 2s. to the king per annum, the king does not wish, by reason of her poverty, that she is to hold that same toft of the king for 2s. each year, when, according to the same inquisition, William Feg, who made fine by 10s. with the king to hold two bovates of land there at farm, had it by 12d. with no mention being made of that toft. Order to cause the buildings that William caused to be carried off from the aforesaid toft, as she says, to be returned and, without delay, to cause Helewise to have full seisin of the aforesaid toft with the aforesaid buildings, as she had it before she was disseised for seising William.

Chris,
just checked it for marks and there are none I can see though it is only a partial tile and the reverse still has ‘mortar’ on it
Best
