Scottlethorpe, Scachetorp, mentioned in Domesday Survey. Aerial photographs show traces of desertion. Scheduled remains of 12th century St Martin's Chapel, with blocked Norman doorway and plain tympanum apparently in situ with surrounding masonry, now used as barn on Manor Farm (TF 0535 2099). There is mention of the chapel at Scotelthorpe in 1758, but Pevsner says the 12th century doorway in the decaying barn on Manor Farm is said to have come from Vaudey Abbey. There is a strong local tradition of a monastery here and amorphous disturbances around the stackyard suggest more extensive buildings. Minor earthworks in pasture to the east are generally medieval field banks. Scottlethorpe is still a hamlet, but probably much reduced from medieval times. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}
