Thorpe in Glebis

Thorpe in the Glebe ('Thorpe-in-Glebis'), or Thorpe Bochart

This is a small village and parish, 11 miles south by east of Nottingham, containing only 38 inhabitants amd 930 acres of land, principally belonging to Mansfield Parkyns and George Frith Esquires, the former of whom is lord of the manor and patron of the rectory, which is valued at £2 3s 4d. The only remains of the church is a heap of ruins, nearly overgrown with grass, upon which the present rector, the Rev. T. Grantham, preached his introductory sermon in 1824, and has never since officiated in the parish. Tradition says, that this place was destroyed either at the Battle of Willoughby Field, or by the hail-storm noticed at Stanton-on-the-Wolds.
