Northorpe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Northorpe is a growing hamlet in the parish of Thurlby, in southern Lincolnshire and is about a mile south of Bourne.

Northorpe is near to Elsea and Math Woods the latter of which particularly, is rumored to be haunted by Nanny Rutt but they are still popular places in which to walk dogs. It lies on the bus route between Bourne and Peterborough and a Delaine bus runs every half an hour along the A15. The village also has a post box and a phone box. In 1998 the village was finally given permission to become part of the National Grid. The work is expected to be completed some time before 2007.

The village was perhaps most famous for its extensive goat farm which used to produce some of the best quality goats' cheese in south Lincolnshire but this has now closed.
