Springthorpe is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, about 4 miles (6.4 km) east of the town of Gainsborough.
Springthorpe was listed in Domesday Book as "Springetorp" and it consisted then of 21 households and a church.[1]
The limestone parish church, which is dedicated to Saint Lawrence and Saint George, is a grade I listed building dating from the 11th century and restored in 1865. The font is 13th century.[2][3] The village website has provided details of monumental inscriptions and provides a graveyard plan.[4]
The deserted medieval village of "Sturgate" or "Stourgate" was situated in the parish, and was documented from the end of the 12th century.[5]
