But it remains on the map
Very few people will know about Thorpe in the Glebe, a lost medieval Nottinghamshire village that's fate is subject to folklore. The name is derived from the Danish word 'torp', which was a subsidiary settlement or farmstead dependent on a larger village.
It was then known as Thorpe Regis or King's Thorpe. A church was built in the village sometime after 1220, before it assumed the name Thorpe in the Glebe in the 14th century.However, climatic changes and the Black Death in the 1340s were thought to have caused the village to take a significant blow. Poor harvests would have been followed by the plague, which wiped out 40 percent of the national population.
According to popular folklore, Thorpe was destroyed either by a hailstorm or as a consequence of the Civil War battle at Willoughby Field in 1648. However, WHO Wolds Historical Organisation says the first is improbable and the second impossible.
