Hob Uid: 348832
Location : Lincolnshire North Kesteven Kirkby La Thorpe
Grid Ref : TF0978046330
Summary : Possible Medieval settlement (crofts and pond) seen as cropmarks and earthworks. Site of St Peter's church and may be the site of the settlement named 'Burg'.
More information : [TF 0982 4631]. ST. PETER'S CHURCH [G.T.] (Site of) (1) In the appropriation of Sempringham Abbey in 1209, St. Peters remained a vicarage until united to the rectory of St. Denis in 1593. The church was in ruins by the end of the century. Traces of earthworks indicating a village site are visible to the north-west [area TF 098 463, see AO/LP/63/294.], and foundations of buildings were still to be seen here in 1825. Foster lists two villages in this area, mentioned in 1086, Thorpe or Laythorpe and Burgh or Burg. [See TF 04 N.E. 15 and TF 04 N.E.21 for two further sites in the area, which are clearly visible on air photographs.] (2-5) The area is now under deep plough. There are no traces of the village or church. (6) Some possible remains of the Medieval settlement referred to by the previous authorities were seen as earthworks and mapped from poor quality air photographs. The very fragmentary remains of possible croft boundaries are visible west of the present village and are centred at TF 0978 4635. A small pond was visible adjacent to these on early air photographs as earthworks but has now been ploughed flat and is visible as a cropmark. No remains of the church were visible on the available air photographs, neither were any identifiable remains of the buildings visible in 1825. (Morph No. LI.852.2.1-2) This description is based on data from the RCHME MORPH2 database. (7) According to feedback received via the PastScape website, its possible that this is the site of the settlement named 'Burg'. (8)
