THORNTON CURTIS: North Lincolnshire Parish #11 of 56

So to a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire approximately 5 miles Southeast from the town of Barton-upon-Humber. The population (including Burnham) at the 2011 census was 295 which remained relatively stable for the 110 years from 1850 to 1960, but since 1960 there has been a marked decline. The name is from the Old English “thorn”+ “tun”, meaning "village where thorn trees grow." In the 1086 Domesday Book the name is written as "Torentune". That’s the part of the name that can be 100% accounted for, The origin of the Curtis part of the village name however is unknown. I thought I was going to find quite a lot of historical information about this one, but I was really wide of the mark with that assumption. Most of the history pertains to one specific landmark – possibly the only one that you’re likely to see the map without visiting the village. It may come as no surprise to learn that parts of the village are designated as a "conservation area", to preserve the village character. The main religious building is the church of St Lawrence which is a prominent feature here. There were two chapels too. The large landmark is an abbey, although what you’re looking at in this video primarily is not the abbey, rather it’s the gatehouse. Close by is the Grade I listed Abbots Lodge, a country house built on the monastic ruins for the MP Sir Vincent Skinner. The gatehouse in itself is impressive. It is the largest and most impressive surviving monastic gatehouse in England. The outside of the building is adorned with three almost life-size statues directly above the gate The abbey isn’t open at the moment, but even so we were still able to get a good view of the buildings which can be seen from the nearby station too!
