Manthorp(e) Gathering May 2010

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:00:00 +0200

Dear fellow Manthorp(e),

I would like to propose that the next Manthorp(e) Gathering is held on the first May Bank Holiday weekend, i.e. Saturday 1st May 2010 in the little village of Thorpeness, Suffolk, England. It is situated near Saxmundham and there are many places to visit e.g. Aldeburgh, Woodbridge (including Sutton Hoo) and Ipswich.

William de Manthorpe, Cleric

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 19:50:00 +0200

Whilst the active and turbulent cleric William de Manthorpe spent part of his career in East Anglia, there are a number of Lincolnshire connections which appear to link him to the Bourne family, as well as a couple of references that might link him to the village near Grantham.

Bourne Manthorpes

The most extensive information about Lincolnshire Manthorpes relates to three clerics. There is some evidence that two of them belonged to the Bourne family.

Manthorpe near Bourne

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 19:10:00 +0200

Manthorpe near Bourne is the only one of the three settlements called Manthorp(e) to be mentioned in the Domesday Book (Mannetorp). It was mentioned in conjunction with Witham-on-the Hill and Toft-with-Lound.

Grantham Manthorpes

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 19:00:00 +0200

The attractive village of Manthorpe near Grantham was first mentioned in 1185 and again in 1212, but was not a parish in the Middle Ages.

The pretty little church with its apple-green pews was built in the 19th century, and the village itself was the scene of the Manthorpe gathering in 1992.

Menethorpe in Yorkshire

So far only one reference has been found to a person taking his name from Menethorpe: Hugh de Menethorpe, who was prebendary of Ulleskelf (which lies to the south-west of York, south of Tadcaster).

He was recorded between 1297 and 1301. There is no evidence at present of a Menethorpe family surviving after the medieval period.
